Shoulder Adhesive Capsulitis and Ambulatory Continuous Interscalene Nerve Blocks: A Randomized, Triple-Masked, Placebo-Controlled Study
Research study to determine if putting local anesthetic through a tiny tube next to the nerves that go to the shoulder will improve shoulder range-of-motion following the shoulder procedure performed on the frozen shoulder. It will also help determine if patients have a higher quality-of-life and less pain, require fewer pain pills, experience fewer sleep disturbances, and are more satisfied with their post-procedure pain control.

Conditions
- Adhesive Capsulitis
- Post-operative Pain
Interventions
- Interscalene catheter with Ropivicaine or normal saline
Primary outcomes
- Passive glenohumeral abduction, as evaluated using standard goniometry restricting scapular movement in a supine position. The difference in abduction the day following manipulation compared with the pre-manipulation value, expressed as a percentage. — change from baseline: measured immediately prior to manipulation and the morning following the manipulation.
