Nerve block to improve shoulder stretch for frozen shoulder
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a nerve block (numbing injection) can make a shoulder stretch procedure called hydrodistension more comfortable and effective for people with frozen shoulder. If you have persistent shoulder stiffness despite other treatments, you may be a candidate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests two types of nerve blocks for frozen shoulder. It will see if one works better than the other to improve movement and reduce pain.
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 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 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.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure using ultrasound to guide a nerve-blocking injection for chronic shoulder pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments. The goal is to reduce pain and improve shoulder function.
This study checks how shoulder nerves change after a surgery called capsular release for frozen shoulder. It may help doctors understand recovery better.
