Sugar-water injections for frozen shoulder
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether specific exercises help reduce pain and improve movement in people with frozen shoulder. If you join, you'll do guided exercises and might see better shoulder function.
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 whether a numbing injection around a shoulder nerve can make a procedure to stretch the shoulder joint (hydrodistension) more comfortable and more effective. It aims to reduce pain and improve movement for people with frozen shoulder.
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 compares two physical therapy techniques—nerve gliding and stretching the shoulder joint capsule—to see which works better for reducing pain and improving movement in people with frozen shoulder. If you have this condition, the treatment may help you regain motion and ease discomfort.
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.
