- Brief Summary
This study aim to compare the efficacy of guteal muscle injection and subacromial ultrasound guided injection to treat frozen shoulder. Firstly, in order to calculate the sample size correctly, we start the preliminary study. Besides, in order to propose clinical new technology which combines the advantages of the two therapies, improve the efficacy ratio of frozen shoulder therapy, and provide a frozen shoulder treatment plan according to health economics.
- Detailed Description
In recent years, there have been studies suggesting that small doses of corticosteroid systemic medication and joint local injection to treat shoulder sleeve disease is equivalent, frozen shoulder is clinically in addition to shoulder sleeve disease another common cause of shoulder pain disease, local injection of small dose of corticosteroid is a clinically commonly used treatment of frozen shoulder mature therapy, however, because of the risk of joint infection and other serious complications, and it's personnel experience depended and high qualification requirements, resulting in higher treatment costs. However, it has not been widely used in clinical applications and is generally used as a second-line therapy for the treatment of frozen shoulders. There are studies suggesting that joint cavity hormone injection may be mainly effective through its systemic effect, however, there is currently no random blind control study comparing small doses of hormone systemic injection with local injection of shoulder joints to freeze shoulder, if the equivalence of the two can be confirmed through such studies will greatly change the clinical treatment of frozen shoulders, with hip injection and other systemic medication will provide great health economic advantages, and can avoid the inherent risk of joint cavity injection, reduce the social cost of frozen shoulder treatment.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The Change of Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) 0,1,2,4,8,12 weeks The SPADI contains 13 items that assess two domains; a 5-item subscale that measures pain and an 8-item subscale that measures disability.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method shoulder external rotator (0-180°) 0,1,2,4,8,12 weeks Passive activity of the shoulder joint
Anterior flexion of shoulder joint (0-180°) 0,1,2,4,8,12 weeks Passive activity of the shoulder joint
The Change of Numeric Rating Scale for Pain (NRS) (Score: 0-10) 0,1,2,4,8,12 weeks The NRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of their pain. The common format is a horizontal bar or line. Similar to the pain VAS, the NRS is anchored by terms describing pain severity extremes
shoulder joint abduction (0-180°) 0,1,2,4,8,12 weeks Passive activity of the shoulder joint
shoulder internal rotator (1-18 score) 0,1,2,4,8,12 weeks The thumb tip reaches the highest point of the back cone:Score1-12: T1-T12; Score13-17:L1-L5;18: below the sacrum;
