Additive effect of glenohumeral joint hydrodilatation applied in addition to suprascapular nerve blockage in patients with adhesive capsulitis

Abstract Background We aimed to investigate the efficacy of shoulder hydrodilatation (HD) applied in addition to suprascapular nerve blockage (SSNB) on severity of pain, shoulder joint range of motion (ROM), functional status, handgrip (HG) strength in patients with adhesive capsulitis (AC). Methods...

description Abstract Background We aimed to investigate the efficacy of shoulder hydrodilatation (HD) applied in addition to suprascapular nerve blockage (SSNB) on severity of pain, shoulder joint range of motion (ROM), functional status, handgrip (HG) strength in patients with adhesive capsulitis (AC). Methods Forty-eight patients who were diagnosed with AC based on physical examination findings included in the study. The patients were randomized into two groups as combination of SSNB + HD and SSNB alone. Injections were performed under ultrasonography guidance. Shoulder ROM angles were measured with a goniometer. Pain intensity was evaluated with visual analog scale. Functional status was evaluated with Quick Disability of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QDASH). HG strength was measured by a Jamar dynometer. After the injection, a home-based exercise program was given to all patients. Patients were evaluated at baseline, 1st and 3rd month. Results Abduction and external rotation ROM angles were statistically significantly limited in SSNB group, at baseline (p = 0.020, p = 0.018, respectively). In terms of other parameters, both groups were similar at baseline (p > 0.05). At comparison of baseline-1st month, a significant improvement was observed in VAS score, abduction and flexion ROM and QDASH score, in both groups (p < 0.05), however, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups. There is a statistically significant decrease in VAS score in both groups, at all times, but, no significant difference between the groups. At the comparison of baseline-3rd month measurements, it was observed that all of the parameters significantly improved in both groups, and there was no statistically significant difference between the groups except for abduction and external rotation ROM (p > 0.05). Abduction ROM and external rotation ROM were significantly higher in the SSNB group than SSNB + HD group at 3rd month. Conclusions Both SSNB + HD and SSNB alone provide significant improvement clinically especially in shoulder pain. HD added to SSNB does not seem to provide any additional benefit. SSNB is an effective treatment option for up to 3 months in patients with AC, mainly in abduction and external rotation limitation.
