Objective: Adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder is a painful condition affecting up to 5% of the general population. We conducted this study with the aim of evaluating the results of physiotherapy plus intra-articular methylprednisolone injection versus physiotherapy alone in idiopathic frozen shoulder. Methods: This prospective clinical study was conducted in a tertiary care center between August 2016 and August 2018. Patients who were diagnosed with idiopathic frozen shoulder were included in the study, and each patient was randomly allocated to one of two groups: physiotherapy alone (group A) and physiotherapy plus intra-articular steroid injection (group B). Results: A total of 52 cases diagnosed with idiopathic frozen shoulder were included and treated with the two modalities. There was a significant improvement in group B compared to group A at 6 weeks and 3 months in the range of flexion, abduction, and external rotation. The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index showed improvement in both pain and disability score in group B ­compared to group A, and improvement was significant at 6 weeks and 3 months. Conclusion: The results demonstrate the advantages of physiotherapy plus intra-articular steroid injection in idiopathic frozen shoulder. The predictability of results with physiotherapy plus intra-articular steroid injection in selected patients is excellent, and it is a better modality of treatment compared to physiotherapy alone.

The term frozen shoulder was first introduced by Codman in 1934. He described a painful shoulder condition of insidious onset that was associated with stiffness and difficulty sleeping on the affected side. Codman also identified the marked reduction in forward elevation and external rotation that are the hallmarks of the disease. Long before Codman, in 1872, the same condition had already been labelled periarthritis by Duplay. In 1945, Naviesar coined the term adhesive capsulitis. [2] The pathophysiology of idiopathic adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) is poorly understood. Most authors have reported various degrees of inflammatory changes in the synovial membrane. Adhesions between the shoulder capsule and the humeral head have been noted by some, but not all, authors. [4] The aetiology of periarthritis of the shoulder, however, is not clearly understood. Amongst the factors suggested are trauma myocardial infarction hemiplegia, pulmonary tuberculosis, thyrotoxicosis, cerebral tumour, and epilepsy. [7] Subjects with Frozen Shoulder Syndrome group A treated with ERM and MWM and group B treated with MRM. The duration of each treatment was 3 weeks. There was an improvement in mobility and functional ability at 12 weeks in subjects treated with the 3 mobilization techniques. Comparing the effectiveness of the 3 treatment strategies in subjects with unilateral Frozen Shoulder Syndrome, ERM and MWM were more effective than MRM in increasing mobility and functional ability.

Background: Apabahuka is a Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi, in which locomotive functions of Amsa Sandhi are affected mainly due to Vata Dosha Prakopa causing pain, stiffness and restricted movement of the shoulder. Apabahuka can be correlated to Frozen shoulder or Adhesive Capsulitis in modern medicine because of similar symptomatology. Nasya is indicated in Urdhwajatrugata Vikaras. Pinyaka Taila and Swalpa Masha Taila are Vatahara Taila used for Nasya. Method: A single blind randomised clinical study in which 40 clinically diagnosed patients of Apabahuka, fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected and divided into two groups - Group A treated with Pinyaka / Panchamula Taila Nasya and Group B treated with Swalpa Masha Taila Nasya, comprising of 20 patients each. Result: Statistically Nasya with Pinyaka Taila showed better results in Pain (51.2%), Stiffness (48%), Tenderness (58.33%), with improvement in goniometric readings of shoulder ROM than Nasya with Swalpa Masha Taila in Pain (39.4%), stiffness (40.9%), Tenderness (58%). Discussion: Rukshadi Gunas of Vata are increased in Apabahuka hence Viparita Gunas like Snigdhadi in the form of Brumhana Nasya with Pinyaka Taila was found to be effective in Apabahuka. In the present study Group A Nasya with Pinyaka Taila showed better effect than Group B Nasya with Swalpa Masha Taila.

Objective: To determine outcomes of intra-articular corticosteroids injection versus physiotherapy for the treatment of adhesive capsulitis using mean pain score on the visual analogue scale. Study Design: Comparative prospective study. Place and Duration of Study: Orthopedic outpatient department, Bahawal Victoria Hospital Bahawalpur from Jan to Jun 2021. Methodology: A total of 120 cases having adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) were included in the study according to inclusion criteria. Non-probability consecutive sampling technique was used for the selection of cases. Patients were divided into two groups, group-A and group B, each containing 60 cases. Patients in group-A were given intra-articular steroid injection (2ml triamcinolone 40mg ± 2ml of bupivacaine). Patients in group B received ten sessions of physiotherapy by a welltrained physiotherapist under the supervision of an orthopaedic surgeon on alternate days. After six weeks, outcomes were measured in terms of pain score using a visual analogue pain scale. Results: Significant improvement was seen among patients in group-A with mean pain score from 7.32 ± 0.89 measured initially to 5.44 ± 1.37 measured after six weeks (p<0.001). No significant improvement was found among patients in group B with a mean pain score of 7.58 ± 0.94 measured initially to 7.12 ± 0.88 measured after six weeks (p>0.05). Conclusion: Significant improvement in pain relief can be achieved using intra-articular steroid injection administered in the shoulder as compared to supervised sessions of physiotherapy among patients with adhesive capsulitis.

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 6th week, on the contrary although pain was increased after 1st 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.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cmoshmcj.v13i2.21057

BACKGROUND: Treatment of Frozen shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) is mainly nonoperative. Intra-articular steroid injections and physiotherapy are one of the most effective and useful treatment. Even though intra-articular steroid injections are very effective in inflammatory phase of the disease; patients are reluctant to move their affected shoulder for fear of pain. Thus, they do not follow exercise program properly resulting in poor outcomes.OBJECTIVE: If pain could be reduced, outcome of treatment can improve. Lignocaine, when combined with steroid injection, plays an important role in immediate improvement of pain and active range of motion thereby increasing the overall result. MATERIALS & METHODS: 100 patients with frozen shoulder were selected according to predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. After randomization by sealed envelope technique, patients were divided into Group A and Group B. Group A patients were injected with 2 ml (80 mg) of methylprednisolone and 3 ml of 1% Lignocaine, and Group B patients were injected with 2 ml (80 mg) of methylprednisolone and 3 ml of Distilled water in the affected shoulder via standard posterior approach. Then half an hour of standard shoulder range of motion (ROM) exercise regimen was performed under supervision. Pre injection and post injection pain level was scored by Visual Analogue Score (VAS) and Subjective satisfaction score (SSS). Shoulder exercises were taught and home based physiotherapy was carried out by patients themselves. They were also prescribed oral analgesics for 5 days and were followed at 1, 3, and 6 weeks. At every follow up visit, they were assessed for improvement via Constant-Murley Score (CMS).RESULTS: The mean age of this study in group A and group B was 56.46 years (SD 10.05) and 57.18 years (SD 8.87) respectively (P0.70). There were 31 male and 19 female in group A as compared to group B where there was 26 males and 24 females (P0.41). In both the groups, maximum number of patients presented at around 10 weeks. In both the groups left side dominated right side with equal frequency (33 left sides and 17 right sides) (P 1.00) and non dominant side outnumbered dominant side with near equal frequency (P 1.00). After the intervention, excellent result in SSS was observed only in group A whereas maximum patients of Group B had only fair result (42 patients). There was statistically significant difference between two groups in terms of pain; Activity of daily living (ADL) and Range of motion (ROM). Patients in group A were able to carry more weight than group B.   In CMS 1 and 6 week total, there was statistically highly significant difference between two groups. CONCLUSION: Even though steroid and physical exercises play important role in managing frozen shoulder, addition of lignocaine to steroid injection seems to be helpful. It relieves immediate pain on movement and improves exercise compliance thereby improving early outcomes. Evaluation of long term benefits of lignocaine injection needs further studies. Journal of Universal College of Medical Sciences (2017) Vol.05 No.01 Issue 15, Page: 22-28

Avabahuka is a disease of Amsa Sandhi (shoulder joint) and it has been described under eighty types of Vata Vyadhi by Acharya Sushruta. Being a disease of shoulder joint, which has greatest range of motion, is of vital importance to the activities of daily routine work. This disease is a hindrance in one’s productivity. Various effective treatment modalities have been mentioned in our classics regarding this disease. In order to reverse the pathogenesis, Shodhana is advised initially followed by Shamana therapies. In the present study 40 patients were selected incidentally and placed randomly into two groups- A and B, with 20 sub-jects in each group. Group- A received Nasya with Sheetala Jala and Group- B received Nasya with Ma-sha Taila followed by Rasnadi Guggulu as Shamanoushadhi for both groups A and B. In both the groups after 7th day of Nasya Karma follow up was done. Assessment was done on the bases of symptomatology. Nasya Karma provided highly significant results in all the symptoms of Avabahuka. In the present study as per the clinical data, ‘Nasya with Masha Taila is found to be more effective than Nasya with Sheetala Jala’.

Gridhrasi is a Vyadhi characterized by Stambha (stiffness), Ruk (pain), Toda (pricking pain), Spandana (twitching) etc. Though it is of two types – Vataja and Vatakaphaja, Vata being the prime cause for this condition has to be tackled to gain relief. Gridhrasi, according to its signs and symptoms can be compared to sciatica in modern medical science which is a painful condition in which pain commences from the buttock and radiates into the lower extremity along its posterior or lateral aspect, more or less comprising of the area of distribution of the sciatic nerve. Thus, this study was taken up to evaluate the efficacy of Rasona taila and Gandharvahastadi eranda taila in the management of Gridhrasi (Sciatica). Methods: In the present study, 60 subjects diagnosed with Gridhrasi were randomly selected and assigned into two equal groups Group A and Group B comprising 30 subjects each. Subjects of Group A received Rasona taila 10ml orally in morning before food and subjects of Group B received Gandharvahastadi eranda taila 10 ml orally in morning before food, both for duration of 21 days. The data obtained in both the groups were recorded, tabulated and statistically analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. Results: After obtaining all the necessary data, the results were formulated by applying suitable statistical tests. Group A showed better results statistically when compared to Group B. Conclusion: Rasona taila has better effects than Gandharvahastadi eranda taila both clinically and statistically in reducing the signs and symptoms of Gridhrasi.
