Study Description

Design: a prospective, double-blinded, randomized, clinical trial

Patient and methods:

Patients with adhesive capsulitis for at least 3 months were enrolled and randomly allocated into group 1 (hydrodilatation with steroid ) and group 2 (hydrodilatation with hyaluronic acid and steroid). The patients were evaluated before treatment and were reevaluated 0, 6, and 12 weeks after the beginning of the treatment. Outcomes measures included a pain scale (visual analog scale), range of motion, Shoulder Pain And Disability Index
