“…Nonsurgical treatments for this condition are Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), short-term oral corticosteroids, intra-articular corticosteroid injections, hydro-dilation, physiotherapy, and acupuncture [10]. Physical therapy has been shown to play a principal role in the treatment of many painful shoulder conditions including adhesive capsulitis [11]. Clinical studies fail to demonstrate any clear effect of specific treatment; this may be affected by the placebo effects and the patient characteristics and methodological weaknesses of the trials evaluated [12].…”

Introduction: There are several options for the management of adhesive capsulitis. Short Wave Diathermy (SWD) is also an important option for adhesive capsulitis management, but very few data are available to support SWD use in adhesive capsulitis. Therefore, we studied the effectiveness of SWD to improve the pain and range of motions in frozen shoulder. Methods: A total 56 patients with adhesive capsulitis were selected in this randomized controlled trial for a study period of 6 months. The subjects were divided into two intervention groups; one group with conventional treatment plan plus SWD and second group with conventional treatment alone. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) with Tenderness Grading (TG) and Shoulder Pain And Disability Index scoring (SPADI) were used to measure the pain and disability, The SPSS (version 20) was used for the statistical analysis; differences between the intervention groups were determined by independent t-test. Results: Among 56 patients, male and female gender were matched (p>0.05) and male to female ratio was 1.66: 1. Only one patient had both shoulders involvement, 48.2% of subjects had right sided and 50.0% had left sided involvement. There were 92.7% of patients who had localized pain and only 7.3% had radiating pain. About 56.4% of the patients had evening time of onset of the pain and 43.6% at night. Most of the patients in both groups had constant and intermittent type of pain, 47.5% and 45.5% respectively, and other types were sharp and dull. Significant differences were observed in VAS, TG and SPADI analysis in between Group A and Group B at week 2, 4 and 6 (P<0.05), whereas initial follow-up was non-significant in VAS and TG analysis (p>0.05). Conclusion: We conclude that when SWD is combined with conventional management of adhesive capsulitis, it gives better reduction in shoulder pain and disability.

This prospective study was performed in the department of Physical Medicine, Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), Dhaka for a period of 6 months to see the effect of phonophoresis (Ultrasound therapy with Naproxen gel) on adhesive capsulitis. During this period 240 (4% of total patients) patients were diagnosed as adhesive capsulitis of shoulder in outpatient department, Physical Medicine, Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Sixty patients were selected for the study and divided them into two groups. In group A, patients were treated with phonophoresis and exercises in contrast with group B patients who were treated with same exercises without phonophoresis for same duration. Patients in both groups were followed up weekly for consecutive six weeks. The mean age of the patients in this study was 51.73 ± 10.01 year, with a range of 35 to 70 years. Out of sixty patients 31 (51.7%) were male and 29 (48.3%) were female. The male: female ratio was 1.07: 1. Among 60 patients, 27 (45%) were housewives, 20 (33.3%) service holders (official job), 4 (6.7%) businessmen, 1 (1.7%) teacher and 8 (13.3%) retired persons. In this study 53.3% patients had right shoulder involvement and rest of them (46.7%) had left sided involvement. Pain was improved just after initiation of treatment and it was completely alleviated in group A patients after 6 th week, on the contrary although pain was increased after 1 st week of treatment thereafter it was gradually decreased but it was not completely alleviated in group B patients at the end of the study. All sorts of range of motions (abduction, internal rotation on abduction, external rotation on abduction) of affected shoulder were improved more rapidly in group A compared to group B patients. Shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) were significantly reduced in group A compared to group B patients.

Adhesive capsulitis also known as frozen shoulder, pericapsulitis, scapulohumeral periarthritis or check- rein syndrome. The condition usually resolves spontaneously after about 18 months. Adhesive capsulitis is a common musculoskeletal disorder mainly affecting middle aged adults. Also self care activities and occupational activities decreases depends on which shoulder is involved, for instance, self care, grooming, combing hair, eating and dressing are impaired if right shoulder is involved for right handed person, on the other hand dressing and perineal care are hampered if left shoulder is involved.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cmoshmcj.v13i1.19423
