Interventions

Intervention1: Supra scapular nerve block followed by Hydro dilatation: Patients will receive suprascapular nerve block with 5ml 1% lidocaine and 20 mg of methylprednisolone followed 5 minutes later

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients diagnosed with primary frozen shoulder and managed conservatively with pharmacotherapy +_ physical therapy for more than 3 months. Patients giving informed written consent. Patients coming in to ASA grade I,II. Patients should not be part of any other study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients with the history of coagulopathy or are on blood thinning medications at the time of the procedure.

Patients who have secondary and tertiary frozen shoulder including extra capsular pathology. Patients having uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, thyroid disorders or other systemic disorders.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1.To evaluate the effect of suprascapular nerve block on procedural pain using VAS, during hydrodilatation of the shoulder capsule between the two groups.Timepoint: 1.VAS at the time of the procedure.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To assess and compare the effect of suprascapular nerve block on shoulder pain at rest using VAS between two groups. 2. To assess and compare the effect of suprascapular nerve block on shoulder pain and disability using SPADI score between study groups. 3.To assess and compare the effect of suprascapular nerve block on different ranges of motion of shoulder(Flexion,Extension,Abduction,Adduction,internal rotation and external rotation) using goniometer. 4.To determine the complications/side effects of the procedure, if any. Timepoint: 1. VAS before begining the procedure,immediately after the hydrodilatation and after 30 minutes. 2. Using SPADI before the procedure and at 15 days. 3.Using Goniometer at baseline, immediadiately after the hydrodilatation, and after 15 minutes. 4.To observe the complications or side effects,if any.	—
