Shear Wave Elastography in Adhesive Capsulitis
- Conditions
- Adhesive Capsulitis
- Interventions
- Diagnostic Test: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)Diagnostic Test: Sonoelastography
- Registration Number
- NCT05920239
- Lead Sponsor
- Uskudar State Hospital
- Brief Summary
This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of sonoelastography in the diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis in patients with a clinical prediagnosis of adhesive capsulitis (AC) and inferior glenohumeral capsuloligamentous complex (IGHCC) involvement demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
- Detailed Description
The study will include a total of 30 patients who will be diagnosed with AC based on clinical evaluation by physicians from various clinical departments, including physical medicine and rehabilitation, and orthopedics. The diagnosis will be confirmed by two experienced radiologists specializing in musculoskeletal imaging. Based on clinical evaluation and MRI findings, a control group of 34 individuals without suspected AC will be included. MRI imaging will be performed using a 3 Tesla MRI scanner. Sonoelastography will be performed using a Siemens Acuson-S2000 ultrasound device with a 9L4 (4-9 MHz) linear probe and the Virtual Touch Quantification (VTQ/ARFI) method. Shear wave elastography will be applied to the IGHCC to obtain the mean shear wave velocity (SWV) values. The contribution of sonoelastography in the diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis in patients with a clinical prediagnosis of adhesive capsulitis (AC) and inferior glenohumeral capsuloligamentous complex (IGHCC) involvement will be investigated.

Group Intervention Description Control Group Sonoelastography Individuals who were not suspected of having adhesive capsulitis based on clinical examination and MRI. Intervention Group Sonoelastography Patients diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis based on evaluations conducted by clinical specialists, primarily in the fields of physical medicine and rehabilitation, orthopedics and traumatology, and confirmed by two experienced radiologists specializing in musculoskeletal imaging through the evaluation of MRI. Control Group Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Individuals who were not suspected of having adhesive capsulitis based on clinical examination and MRI.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Measuring the Correlation Between MRI Imaging and Sonoelastography Results 1 day This study aims to compare the measurements of intra-articular glenohumeral capsular thickness (IGHCC) using shear wave elastography in two groups: patients with confirmed adhesive capsulitis based on MRI imaging and patients without adhesive capsulitis on MRI imaging. The correlation between the measured shear wave velocity (SWV) values and the diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis will be examined.By comparing the measurements between and within the groups, the correlation of sonoelastography measurements with MRI imaging in healthy individuals and patients will be investigated using statistical methods. Additionally, the potential impact of sonoelastography on the diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis cases will be examined. This study aims to determine the diagnostic value of sonoelastography in adhesive capsulitis and its potential as a complementary tool to MRI.
