Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Hydro dilatation only   Patients will directly be subjected to hydro dilatation of the shoulder capsule with 10ml of lidocaine 1% and 40 mg of Methyl prednisolone. No supra scapular nerve block will be administered. Pain will be assessed and compared on visual analog scale before starting the procedure, immediately after the procedure and 30 minutes later. 
Intervention  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 by hydro dilatation of the shoulder capsule with 10ml of lidocaine 1% and 40mg of methyl prednisolone and pain is assessed and compared on Visual analog scale, before beginning the procedure, immediately after the procedure and 30 minutes later.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1.To evaluate the effect of suprascapular nerve block on procedural pain using VAS, during hydrodilatation of the shoulder capsule between the two groups.  1.VAS at the time of the procedure. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
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.
 
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.

Brief Summary  

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, has a prevalence of 2-5% in the general population and is considered to be one of the most serious painful conditions involving the musculoskeletal system.

It is characterised by the formation of scar tissue, adhesions and capsular thickening within the shoulder. This results in symptoms of localized pain and restricted range of motion.

Despite much research and advocation for treatment modalities such as corticosteroid injections, mobilizations and acupuncture, optimal management protocol for AC is not clearly defined, with no specific guidelines for clinicians to follow when faced with a patient.

Hydro dilatation of the shoulder joint capsule is a novel treatment to alleviate the pain of the applied shoulder. Hydro dilatation consists of injecting fluid in the glenohumeral joint under fluoroscopic control to rupture the capsule to increase the shoulder’s mobility.

It is an easy, safe, and cost-effective method to treat frozen shoulder in terms of functionality and pain relief.

The hydro dilatation method can cause pain in the shoulder during the intervention, so early manual exercise after the intervention is required to inhibit pain. 

Suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) has been found effective in reducing pain originating from the shoulder joint including that in FS.

The suprascapular nerve supplies 70% of the sensory nerve supply to the shoulder joint, and local anesthetic block of this nerve is effective in certain shoulder pain disorders.

The literature comparing the efficacy of SSNB used as an adjunct in hydro dilatation of frozen shoulder remains sparse.

Therefore, this study aims to understand the effects of the SSNB on procedural pain of hydro dilatation of the shoulder capsule in case of AC.
