Comparing shoulder stretch treatments for frozen shoulder
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two different amounts of fluid injected into the shoulder joint to treat frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). The goal is to see which volume works better for pain and movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 70 years old.
- You have had shoulder pain for more than 3 months.
- Your shoulder movement is limited in at least two directions, both when you try to move it and when the doctor moves it.
- You have not had a similar injection treatment (hydrodilatation) in the past year.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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).
This trial tests if adding a gentle hands-on treatment (Spencer technique) to the standard fluid injection procedure (hydrodilation) helps people with frozen shoulder move more easily and feel better. If you have been diagnosed with unilateral frozen shoulder and have already had the hydrodilation procedure, you may qualify.
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 compares three treatments for frozen shoulder: high-intensity laser therapy, steroid injection, and manual therapy. It aims to find which approach works best for reducing pain and improving movement in people with this condition.
