Summary

This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of hydrodilatation with steroid via posterior approach versus rotator interval approach for treating patients with adhesive capsulitis.

Detailed description

Adhesive capsulitis is a common cause of shoulder pain, and the efficacy of most interventions is limited. This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of rotator interval injection with steroid with that of steroid hydrodilatatoin for treating adhesive capsulitis. Design: a prospective, single-blinded, randomized, clinical trial Patient and methods: Patients with adhesive capsulitis were enrolled and randomly allocated into group 1 ( ultrasound guided rotator interval injection ) and group 2 (ultrasound guided steroid hydrodilatation). The patients were evaluated before treatment and were reevaluated 0, 6, and 12 weeks after the beginning of the treatment. Outcomes measures included a pain scale (visual analog scale), range of motion, Constant shoulder score, and Shoulder Pain And Disability Index.
