Sponsor's own description
Adhesive capsulitis is a disease that negatively affects a person's quality of life by causing severe pain and limitation in the movements of the shoulder joint in all directions. Conservative approaches including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or oral corticosteroid usage and physiotherapy program are the first choice for the treatment. However, painful exercises usually prevent patients from fully participating in the physiotherapy program. For this reason, interventional procedures such as intra-articular corticosteroid injection (IAI) and suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) are preferred to be applied before the physiotherapy program. The aim of this study is to reveal both short and long-term effects of SSNB and IAI combination on pain, shoulder range of motion (ROM), disability, and quality of life in patients with adhesive capsulitis. It is hypothesized that the addition of SSNB to IAI results in greater improvements in pain, passive and active shoulder ROMs, disability, and quality of life.
