Testing a new injection combo for frozen shoulder
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.

- You have not had a steroid injection in that shoulder within the last 4 months.

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 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 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 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 trial compares two treatments for frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis): a steroid injection alone versus a steroid injection plus a nerve block. The goal is to find which approach provides better pain relief for people who have not improved after two weeks of conservative care.
