简要总结
Frozen Shoulder, often referred to as Adhesive capsulitis (AC), is characterized by initially painful and later progressively restricted active and passive glenohumeral (GH) joint range of motion with spontaneous complete or nearly-complete recovery over a varied period of time.
It is defined as a condition of uncertain aetilogy, characterized by significant restriction of both active and passive shoulder motion that occurs in the absence of a known intrinsic shoulder disorder. The gleno-humeral joint becomes painful and stiff because of the loss of resilience of the joint capsule, possibly with adhesions between its folds. Often, there is a history of preceding trauma.
Homoeopathy has a great role in treating frozen shoulder. Homoeopathy views diseases in holistic way and evolves a therapeutic plan for its treatment in the same point. Homoeopathy treats the person as a whole. (2) It means the homoeopathic treatment focuses on the person, as well as his pathological condition.
Among other sources of homoeopathic drugs, Nosodes are medicines produced from diseased tissues or disease organs or excretions of living organisms (i.e. plants and animals) and bacterial and viral products which is prepared on the basis of homoeopathic principles.
Like other homoeopathic medicines, nosodes are prescribed on the basis of symptom similarity. It is used as a constitutional medicine as well as an intercurrent remedy in chronic diseases. Nosodes have a great role in treating cases of frozen shoulder on the basis of symptoms similarity. They have great affinity for pain and stiffness in shoulder joints.
At R.B.T.S. Govt. Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital, there are significant foot falls of patients suffering from frozen shoulder and the Nosodes group of medicines is frequently indicated for their treatment. Although various studies have been conducted on the treatment of frozen shoulder with homoeopathic medicines, there has been a lack of research specifically focusing on the Nosodes group. The homoeopathic materia medica is rich with symptoms of frozen shoulder related to Nosodes, which has inspired me to pursue research on this topic.
