Dilatation combined with steroid injections equivalent to steroid in adhesive capsulitis .
OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - ACE Report
OE Journal. 2013;1(2):149 BMC Musculoskelet Disord. 2008 Apr 19;9:53.76 patients diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis, having predominantly 1 shoulder pain for >3 months in the last 2 years, were randomized to undergo hydrodilatation with corticosteroid injection or just corticosteroid intra-articular injection. This study aimed to compare the clinical results between techniques. At 6 weeks, no major significant between-group differences in most of the outcome measures were recorded. There was a similar degree of improvement from baseline in both of the treatment groups, hence questioning the role of hydrodilation in management of adhesive capsulitis.
Was the allocation sequence adequately generated?
Was allocation adequately concealed?
Blinding Treatment Providers: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Blinding Outcome Assessors: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Blinding Patients: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Was loss to follow-up (missing outcome data) infrequent?
Are reports of the study free of suggestion of selective outcome reporting?
Were outcomes objective, patient-important and assessed in a manner to limit bias (ie. duplicate assessors, Independent assessors)?
Was the sample size sufficiently large to assure a balance of prognosis and sufficiently large number of outcome events?
Was investigator expertise/experience with both treatment and control techniques likely the same (ie.were criteria for surgeon participation/expertise provided)?

مؤشر الهشاشة هو أداة تساعد في تفسير النتائج المهمة، وتوفر مقياسًا لقوة النتيجة. ويمثل مؤشر الهشاشة عدد الأحداث المتتالية التي يجب إضافتها إلى نتيجة ثنائية التفرع لجعل النتيجة غير مهمة. يمثل الرقم الصغير نتيجة أضعف ويمثل الرقم الكبير نتيجة أقوى.
لماذا كانت هناك حاجة لهذه الدراسة الآن؟
Evidence has suggested that the etiology of patients with adhesive capsulitis may result from the contractions of the shoulder and intraarticular adhesions. Hydrodilatation of the glenohumeral joint has thus been advocated for improvement of shoulder pain and range of motion in these patients. However, evidence remains inconclusive due to methodological issues. This study investigated the effect of hydrodilatation on the overall treatment effects of a combined dilatation and steroid injection procedure.
ما هو سؤال البحث الرئيسي؟
Are there clinical differences between patients receiving dilatation (DIL) with a corticosteroid and patients receiving Injection (INJ) of a corticosteroid in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis?
- Both groups had comparable clinical improvements in Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), passive range of motion (PROM) and active range of motion (AROM) from baseline (p>0.05).
- The mean difference in SPADI scores from baseline was 3 points (95% CI: -5 to 11) favouring the DIL group (p>0.05).
- 13 and 9 patients in the INJ and DIL groups, respectively, reported flushing or disturbances with heat regulation. 20 and 14 patients, respectively, reported pain upon injection.
ما الذي يجب أن أتذكره أكثر؟
Similar improvements from baseline in Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), passive range of motion (PROM) and active range of motion (AROM) were observed in both the hydrodilatation and control groups.
كيف سيؤثر ذلك على رعاية مرضاي؟
The results indicated that hydrodilatation did not provide any additional clinical benefits in patients with adhesive capsulitis, but may have an important treatment effect in some selected cases. Therefore, there is a need for future trials investigating the long-term effects of hydrodilatation.
