The Effects of Two Different Treatment Protocols on Shoulder Function, Quality of Life, and Ultrasound Parameters in Patients With Frozen Shoulder

Not Applicable
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Frozen Shoulder
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder Capsulitis
Interventions
Other: Ultrasound Guided Hydrodilatation with corticosteroid injection
Other: Intra-articular corticosteroid injection
Registration Number
NCT05956171
Lead Sponsor
Istanbul University
Brief Summary

The goal of this interventional study is to compare the outcomes of two different injection aprroaches in patients with frozen shoulder. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Is hydrodilatation better than intraarticular corticosteroid injection?

* Is there any prognostic factors that will help clinicians guide their decision making when choosing between these two treatments?

Participans will receive an injection(cortcosteroid and local anesthetics alone or with hydrodilatation-corticosteroid and local anesthetics plus sterile saline solution) and then they will follow a rehabilitation program.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from baseline pain score on Visual Analog Scale(VAS)Baseline, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months

Pain scored according to VAS; between 0(no pain) to 10(worst pain)

Change in Shoulder Pain and Disability Index(SPADI) scoresBaseline, 1 month, 3 months

Scored between 0-10 ; 0 means no pain and disability and 10 means the worst pain and disability

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Range of Movement(ROM)Baseline, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months

Range of shoulder movements assessed with digital inclinometer in sittting and lying positions

Proprioception(Active position sense- joint position error)Baseline, 3 months

Shoulder joint is positioned in 30 degree flexion and 15 degree internal and external rotation in lying position, patient is asked to position their joints and errors in degrees noted

Shoulder StrengthBaseline, 3 months

Measured with cybex isokinetic dinamometer, shoulder flexion/extension and shoulder internal/external rotation

Ultrasound ParametersBaseline, 1 month, 3 months

Coracohumeral ligament(CHL) thickness, axillary pouch(AP) thickness, elastography of deltoid muscle(anterior, middle, and posterior)

Changes in Depression ScoreBaseline, 1 months, 3 months

measured by Beck's Depression Inventory(between 0 to 40), 0 means no depression and 40 means severe depression

Changes in Life Quality ScoreBaseline, 1 month, 3 months

Items from the SF-36 (Short Form 36) survey, between 0(worst) to 100(best)

Treatment Satisfaction3 months

Global Improvement and Satisfaction Score, between 1 to 5, 1 very dissatisfied, and 5 very satisfied
