Clinical Trial on Frozen Shoulder Using Bilateral Shoulder Radiography in Different Position

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Frozen Shoulder
• Interventions: Radiation: Bilateral shoulder anteroposterior radiography

• Registration Number: NCT02169206
• Lead Sponsor: Mashhad University of Medical Sciences

Brief Summary

This study on frozen shoulder addressed the null hypothesis that there is no difference in the motion of scapula against the thoracic wall between affected and non-affected shoulder.

Detailed Description

Adult patients with unilateral shoulder pain lasted for more than one month, accompanied by passive and active limitation of range of motion in all directions will be included. Patients with bilateral involvement, history of trauma, history of surgery on the affected shoulder, history of fracture, shoulder osteoarthritis, symptoms less than one month and any signs of rotator cuff tear will be excluded. MR imaging will be done to exclude other pathologies and frank rotator cuff tear.
