Exercise and anti-fibrotic treatment for frozen shoulder
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether exercise combined with an anti-fibrotic medication (a drug that reduces scar tissue) helps people with frozen shoulder regain shoulder movement. Frozen shoulder causes stiffness and pain that limits your ability to move your arm.
