Summary

Improving pain in the patients with adhesive capsulitis by comparing the effect of combined shoulder anterior capsular block and intraarticular steroid injection versus intraarticular steroid injection.

Detailed description

Comparing between combined shoulder anterior capsular block and intraarticular steroid injection versus intraarticular steroid injection for enhancing pain relief in adhesive capsulitis as regards: * To measure analgesic parameters including: assessment of pain score by using Visual Analogue Score during 8 weeks follow up in comparison to baseline and total amount of rescue analgesic (ibuprofen) consumption. * To assess the Shoulder pain and Disability Index * To record complications of the block (local anesthetic toxicity, infection, bleeding, nerve injury) * Over all patient's satisfaction: The patients will be asked to rate the overall degree of satisfaction of the analgesia by using a 5-points likert-like verbal scale (1 = very dissatisfied analgesia, 2 = dissatisfied analgesia, and 3 = neutral, 4=satisfied analgesia, and 5=very satisfied analgesia).

Conditions

• Analgesia

Interventions
