Key result
Hydrodilatation is a potential first-line, rapid, non-surgical, and cost-effective treatment for frozen shoulder in secondary care.
Why the study?
Does hydrodilatation reduce pain and restore function in patients with frozen shoulder?
Does hydrodilatation reduce pain and restore function in patients with frozen shoulder?
Hydrodilatation is highlighted as a rapid, non-surgical, and cost-effective potential first-line treatment for frozen shoulder.
May position hydrodilatation as first-line frozen shoulder option; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation.
Frozen shoulder causes significant functional disability and pain in a population group constituted by patients who are often middle-aged and working. Frozen shoulder remains poorly understood. The available literature is limited and often prone to bias. A rapid, non-surgical and cost-effective treatment that reduces pain and restores function is an attractive option. Hydrodilatation is a potential first-line treatment of frozen shoulder in secondary care. Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2017;2:462–468. DOI: 10.1302/2058-5241.2.160061
