Comparing shoulder injection treatments for frozen shoulder
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two injection treatments for frozen shoulder (stiff, painful shoulder). It compares a standard steroid injection with a combination of a steroid injection plus a nerve block, to see which provides better relief and movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two treatments for frozen shoulder: a procedure that stretches the shoulder joint with fluid, and a steroid injection. Both aim to reduce pain and improve movement, and participation could help determine which works better for you.
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 two different injectable treatments for frozen shoulder: one uses a steroid plus fluid, the other uses an enzyme called hyalase. Both are meant to loosen the stiff shoulder joint and improve movement.
This study compares three different shoulder injections to see which one works best for treating frozen shoulder. It aims to help reduce pain and improve movement.
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.
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.
