Comparing shoulder injections for frozen shoulder
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have pain and stiffness in only one shoulder for 1–9 months.
- Your pain score is 7 or higher out of 10.
- You have significant stiffness (more than 50% loss of motion in at least two directions).
- You are in the 'freezing' stage of frozen shoulder.
- You have not had an MRI or X-ray showing other shoulder problems like a torn rotator cuff or arthritis.

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 tests whether different doses of a steroid injection can help treat frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). If you have frozen shoulder and haven't had a recent injection or surgery on that shoulder, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether osteopathic manipulation therapy (OMT) can help people with frozen shoulder who haven't had treatment yet. It aims to see if OMT improves shoulder movement and reduces pain.
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 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 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.
