Background: Several therapeutic methods have been proposed for frozen shoulder syndrome. These include suprascapular nerve block, a simple and cost-effective technique that eliminates the need for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug therapy. Methods: This was a clinical trial that included patients with unilateral shoulder joint stiffness. Patients were divided into three groups: those treated with isolated physiotherapy for 12 weeks (PT group), those treated with a single dose intra-articular injection of corticosteroid together with physiotherapy (IACI group), and those treated with a suprascapular nerve block performed with a single indirect injection of 8-mL lidocaine HCL 1% and 2 mL (80 mg) methylprednisolone acetate together with physiotherapy (SSNB group). The variables assessed were age, sex, side of involvement, dominant limb, presence of diabetes, physical examination findings including erythema, swelling, and muscle wasting; palpation and movement findings; shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) score; and the visual analog scale (VAS) score pre-intervention and at 2-, 4-, 6-, and 12-week post-intervention. Results: Ninety-seven patients were included in this survey (34 cases in the PT group, 32 cases in the IACI group, and 31 cases in the SSNB group). Mean age was 48.55±11.06 years. Fifty-seven cases were female (58.8%) and 40 were male (41.2%). Sixty-eight patients had a history of diabetes (70.1%). VAS and SPADI scores and range of mototion degrees dramatically improved in all cases (p<0.001). Results were best in the SSNB group (p<0.001), and the IACI group showed better results than the PT group (p<0.001). Conclusions: Suprascapular nerve block is an effective therapy with long-term pain relief and increased mobility of the shoulder joint in patients with adhesive capsulitis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate pain and range of motion in the frozen shoulder and to compare Hold-Relax technique with ROM exercise. Twenty-eight frozen shoulder patients between 41 nod 76 years of age were selected and were divided equally by random distribution into a Hold-Relax technique group and a ROM exercise group. To analyze the therapeutic effect between the two groups, two measurements were taken. A measurement of pain was taken by visual analogue scale and a measurement of range of motion was taken by measuring flexion and abduction degrees with a goniometer. The results were as followings : 1. The Hold-Relax group is more effective in decreasing the pain than the ROM exercise group. 2. The Hold-Relax group is more effective in increasing the range of flexion at the shoulder than the ROM exercise group. 3. The Hold-Relax group is more effective in increasing the range of abduction at the shoulder than the ROM exercise group.

이 연구는 동결견 진단을 받은 환자 14명을 대상으로 하였다. 이들에게 한국전통 정골요법(이하 KTO)을 적용하여 병증의 완화가 실제 이루어 졌는지에 대한 연구를 진행 하였으며 자발적 방문을 한 환자로 구성이 되었다. 또한 약 6개월 이상의 통증을 호소하는 만성질환자를 대상으로 연구 되었다. 연구 결과 KTO를 적용 한 그룹의 경우 통증 수치가 감소되었다. KTO를 적용하지 않은 그룹의 경우 통증감소가 적었다. 이러한 결과들을 토대로 동결견 환자에게 한국전통정골요법이 미치는 효과는 유효하다라고 사료되며 정확한 적용을 위한 통일적 모델링과 효과가 증대 될 수 있는 다른 치료 및 요법과의 병행이 필요 하다고 판단된다. 동결견 환자에게 한국전통정골요법을 적용하면 견관절의 운동범위 증가와 통증의 감소를 가져 올 수 있다. 그것은 발병의 원인이 너무 광범위하고 치료 방법도 정확하지 않은 현재의 상황에 많은 도움이 될 것이다.

동결견의 치료에 있어 관절경하 관절낭 유리술과 더불어 강압교정술을 겸용한 적극적인 치료방법은 견관절부 동통 완화와 견관절 운동 범위 회복에 있어 양호한 결과를 얻을 수 있으며 강압교정이나 관절경하 관절낭 유리술의 단독 시행에서 보일수 있는 합병증을 현저히 줄일 수 있고 특히, 심한 동통 및 관절 운동 제한을 보이는 환자에서 이환 기간 단축 및 관절 운동 범위 회복에 있어 보존적 치료에 비해 우수한 방법으로 사료된다.

Objectives : To evaluate the pain improvement of the frozen shoulder patients taken the electro-acupuncture therapy using Visual Analogue Scale. Methods : The 38 frozen shoulder patients visited department of Acupuncture & Moxibustion in National Medical Center from 1st September 2004 to 28th February 2005 had taken the electroacupuncture therapy or body-acupuncture therapy more than 3 times.(Electroacupuncture group was 24 persons and body-acupuncture group was 14 persons.) We evaluated their improvement of shoulder pain using Visual Analog Scale(VAS) at each visit. Then we analyzed the pain improvement comparing with two groups. Results : Both VAS scores of electroacupuncture group and body-acupuncture group have significantly improved. VAS score at third visit of electroacupuncture group and body-acupuncture group have significantly improved. VAS score at third visit of electroacupuncture group was significantly lower than that of body-acupuncture group (p=0.0057). The decreased VAS score after first visit of electroacupuncture group was also significantly higher than that of body-acupuncture group(p=0.0225). Conclusion : The pain of electroacupuncture group decreased more than body-acupuncture group at early visit. But the total decreased VAS scores of two groups was not significantly different.

동결 견은 통증과 관절가동범위의 감소를 임상적 특징으로 한다. 동결견의 치료목적은 통증감소와 감소된 관절가동범위를 증가함으로 기능적인 동작을 수행하게 하는데 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 동결 견으로 진단받은 26명의 환자를 대상으로 보존적 물리치료(온열, 전기, 초음파)와 관절 가동술을 적용한 후 주관적 통증지수와 관절가동범위에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 실시하였다. 실험군 13명에게는 보존적 물리치료와 관절 가동술을 병행해서 4주간 주3회 적용하였고 대조군 13명에게는 보존적 물리치료를 4주간 주3회 실시한 후 주관적 통증지수와 관절가동범위를 측정하였다. 실험군에서는 주관적 통증지수의 감소와 외전, 외회전, 내회전의 관절가동범위가 증가하였다. 대조군에서는 주관적 통증지수는 감소하였지만 관절가동범위는 차이가 없었다. 군 간의 비교에서는 주관적 통증지수에서는 차이가 없었고 외회전, 내회전의 관절가동범위가 증가하였다. 따라서 보존적 물리치료와 관절 가동술의 병행이 통증감소와 외전, 외회전, 내회전의 관절가동범위의 증가, 특히 외회전과 내회전의 관절가동범위의 증가에 효과적임을 보여 준다.

Background: Although a common shoulder disease, there are no accepted classification criteria for frozen shoulder (FS). This study therefore aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the conventionally used FS classification system. Methods: Primary FS patients (n=168) who visited our clinic from January 2010 to July 2015 were included in the study. After confirming restrictions of the glenohumeral joint motion and absence of history of systemic disease, trauma, shoulder surgery, shoulder muscle weakness, or specific x-ray abnormalities, the Zuckerman and Rokito's classification was employed for diagnosing primary FS. Following clinical diagnosis, each patient underwent a shoulder magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and blood tests (lipid profile, glucose, hemoglobin A1c, and thyroid function). Based on the results of the blood tests and MRIs, the patients were reclassified, using the criteria proposed by Zuckerman and Rokito. Results: New diagnoses were ascertained including blood test results (16 patients with diabetes, 43 with thyroid abnormalities, and 149 with dyslipidemia), and MRI revealed intra-articular lesions in 81 patients (48.2%). After re-categorization based on the above findings, only 5 patients (3.0%) were classified having primary FS. The remaining 163 patients (97.0%) had either undiagnosed systemic or intrinsic abnormalities (89 patients), whereas 74 patients had both. Conclusions: These findings demonstrate that most patients clinically diagnosed with primary FS had undiagnosed systemic abnormalities and/or intra-articular pathologies. Therefore, a modification of the Zuckerman and Rokito's classification system for FS may be required to include the frequent combinations, rather than having a separate representation of systemic abnormalities and intrinsic causes.
