Hydro dissection for frozen shoulder: ultrasound vs X-ray guidance
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to guide a fluid injection for frozen shoulder—one using ultrasound and one using X-ray. The goal is to see which technique works better to reduce pain and improve movement.
