Shoulder injection for frozen shoulder: a trial
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an ultrasound-guided injection of fluid and a steroid (triamcinolone acetonide) into the stiff shoulder joint can help improve range of motion and reduce pain in people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have been diagnosed with frozen shoulder (periarthritis of the shoulder).
- Your shoulder has been stiff and painful for more than 1 month, and you have trouble moving it in at least two directions (like lifting your arm out to the side, reaching forward, or rotating it).
- You have had imaging tests (X-ray, ultrasound, or MRI) to rule out other causes of your shoulder problem.
- You have not had a shoulder steroid injection in the past 3 months, and you do not have any condition that makes using steroids unsafe.

This trial compares two injection methods for frozen shoulder: one directly into the shoulder joint and one into the buttock muscle. It aims to see which works better for pain and movement.
This trial tests three ways to inject medication into the shoulder joint to see which works best for frozen shoulder. It may help if you have severe pain and stiffness that has lasted 1–9 months.
This study tests if a combination of a shoulder injection and a nerve block works better than a steroid injection alone for frozen shoulder. It might help you regain movement and reduce pain if standard treatments haven't worked.
This trial tests whether stretching the joint capsule or injecting a steroid works better for frozen shoulder. It could help people with shoulder pain and stiffness that limits movement.
This study compares two treatments for frozen shoulder: a steroid injection plus fluid expansion (hydrodilatation) versus an injection with an enzyme called hyalase. It aims to see which method better reduces pain and improves movement.
This trial tests a new AI-assisted ultrasound therapy for frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). It aims to see if this non-invasive treatment can help improve shoulder stiffness and movement without the need for surgery or injections.
