Comparing results of different volumes of hydrodilatation for frozen shoulder

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of high-volume versus low-volume hydrodilatation in patients with adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder. Participants will be stratified by the phase of their condition and will receive either 20 ml or 40 ml of hydrodilatation treatment. Outcomes will be measured using the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and range of motion (ROM) assessments at one, three, and six months post-treatment. The goal is to determine which volume of hydrodilatation yields better results in alleviating symptoms and improving shoulder function.

* Previously receiving HD treatment in less than 1 year.
* Stage 0 or 3 AC.
* Non-adherence to the PT program, with attendance failures exceeding 20%.
