Nerve block for frozen shoulder pain relief
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether a nerve block injection can improve shoulder movement and reduce pain in people with frozen shoulder. You may be eligible if you have limited range of motion and can bring someone to drive you home after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have frozen shoulder with at least 20 degrees loss of movement in certain directions compared to your other shoulder.
- You are covered by health insurance.
- You can bring someone to accompany you home after the procedure.
- You can start rehabilitation within one month after the nerve block.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two treatments for frozen shoulder: a corticosteroid injection into the shoulder joint and a nerve block (injection near the shoulder nerve) to reduce pain and improve movement. It aims to find which approach works better for people with frozen shoulder.
This study tests whether a nerve block (numbing injection) can make a shoulder stretch procedure called hydrodistension more comfortable and effective for people with frozen shoulder. If you have persistent shoulder stiffness despite other treatments, you may be a candidate.
This study tests whether ultrasound-guided injections into the shoulder can improve pain and movement in people with frozen shoulder. It may help if you have had shoulder pain for at least 3 months and other treatments haven't worked well.
This study tests a treatment called perineural injection therapy, where a sugar-water solution (dextrose) is injected around the nerves in your shoulder. It may help reduce pain and improve movement in people with frozen shoulder that hasn't improved with other treatments.
This study tests whether adding a specific muscle-release technique to shoulder exercises helps reduce pain and improve movement in frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). Frozen shoulder causes stiffness and pain that limits arm movement; this trial explores whether combining two physical therapy methods works better than standard care.
This trial compares two treatments for frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis): a steroid injection alone versus a steroid injection plus a nerve block. The goal is to find which approach provides better pain relief for people who have not improved after two weeks of conservative care.
