About this study

Official title: The Effectiveness of Intra-articular Steroid Injection in Breast Cancer Survivors With Adhesive Capsulitis According to the Thickness of Axillary Capsulitis Thickness

The prevalence of shoulder joint disease is high in breast cancer patients. The cause of adhesive capsulitis is not clearly identified. However, the following are known as relevant factors that are the restriction of the use of the arm after surgery, inflammation due to autoimmune action, radiation therapy, and adhesion of the surgical site. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the effect of intrathecal steroid injection in breast cancer survivors with adhesive capsulitis.

Being tested
Intra-articular steroid injection
Medical subject headings
Breast Neoplasms

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Range of motion of shoulder joint

    A goniometer is an instrument which measures the available range of motion at a joint.Flexion, Extension,Adduction,Abduction, Internal Rotation,External rotation

    Measured: Change from baseline at 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in score on Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI)

    SPADI is a scale consisting of 0-10; 0 being the best and 10 being the worse pain ever; higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: Change from baseline at 3 months

  2. Axillary recess capsule thickness

    Ultrasound measurements of axillary recess capsule thickness in unilateral frozen shoulder

    Measured: Change from baseline at 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intra-articular steroid injection in people with Breast Neoplasm and Shoulder Capsulitis, run by Yeungnam University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Range of motion of shoulder joint (time frame: Change from baseline at 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Jan 2022.
