Translational Manipulation Under Interscalene Block for Adhesive Capsulitis of the Shoulder (TMACS)

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Shoulder Adhesive Capsulitis, Frozen Shoulder, Adhesive Capsulitis of Shoulder

In brief

This study evaluates the addition of translational manipulation under interscalene block, to a course of orthopaedic manual physical therapy for treatment of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder. Half the patients will receive a translational manipulation under interscalene block, plus 6 sessions of orthopaedic manual physical therapy. The other half will receive 7 sessions of physical therapy. The investigators hypothesize that the translational manipulation under interscalene block will provide additional benefit beyond the effect of in-clinic orthopaedic manual physical therapy alone.
