About this study

Official title: In Shoulder Adhesive Capsulitis, Ultrasound-guided Anterior Hydrodilatation in Rotator Interval is More Effective Than Posterior Approach: a Randomized Controlled Study

A prospective randomized controlled study among 60 consecutive adhesive capsulitis to compare between the ultrasound-guided anterior hydrodilatation in rotator interval and the posterior approach.

Read the detailed description

patients was randomized into two equal groups. Group I received ultrasound-guided hydrodilatation with corticosteroid, saline, and local anesthetic via posterior intra-articular approach; group II received the same ultrasound-guided hydrodilatation via anterior rotator interval approach.

Both groups received guided stretching exercises for 3 months after injection. Baseline and 3 months evaluation of pain by visual analogue scale (VAS), shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI), and range of motion (ROM) had been recorded for all patients.

A statistical power analysis was performed after sample size estimation, based on data from the current study (N = 60), comparing group I to group II.

Qualitative data was expressed as numbers and percentages, and Chi-squared test, Quantitative data were expressed as mean and standard deviation.

Being tested
ultrasound-guided posterior hydrodilatation, corticosteroid, saline, and local anesthetic, guided stretching and strengthening exercise program

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ultrasound-guided posterior hydrodilatationProcedure or surgery

    Group I was treated through posterior approach; The injection needle is introduced at the skin surface just lateral to the transducer and in an oblique lateral to medial direction. Group II was treated through anterior rotator interval approach. A 21-gauge needle is introduced into the rotator interval using an oblique path within the imaging plane of the transducer; from lateral to medial, the needle tip is imaged in real time throughout its passage from superficial to deep and is positioned in the biceps tendon sheath between the coracohumeral ligament above and biceps tendon below. Both groups were given the same guided stretching and strengthening exercise program

What is being measured

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

  1. visual analoge state

    minimum value: 0 maximum value: 10 higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. shoulder pain and disability index

    minimum value: 0 maximum value: 100 higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ultrasound-guided posterior hydrodilatation, corticosteroid, saline, and local anesthetic and guided stretching and strengthening exercise program in people with Shoulder Capsulitis, run by Tanta University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 3 inclusion and 7 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 18 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 Egypt. 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?

visual analoge state (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Jan 2022.
