Nerve treatments for frozen shoulder
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve treatments (radiofrequency with hydrodissection) for people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). It aims to see which approach better relieves pain and helps you regain shoulder movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study tests two types of nerve blocks for frozen shoulder. It will see if one works better than the other to improve movement and reduce pain.
This trial tests two different lengths of a treatment called pulsed radiofrequency on a nerve in the shoulder to see which works better for people with shoulder impingement syndrome or tendon problems that have not improved with other treatments.
This study compares two methods of treating chronic shoulder pain by using a needle to deliver a special type of electrical pulse to a nerve in the shoulder. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief for people with shoulder pain from a rotator cuff problem.
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 a combination of gentle joint movement techniques, pain education, and core-strengthening exercises can help people with frozen shoulder move better and feel less pain. It may be a good fit if you have been diagnosed with frozen shoulder and are looking for a drug-free treatment option.
