Brief Summary  

Adhesive capsulitis, commonly referred to as frozen shoulder, is associated with synovitis and capsular contracture of the shoulder joint and can be classified as either primary or secondary. In present scenario homoeopathic medicines could be a valid alternative treatment to provide a significant improvement in pain and stiffness along with significant benefit on overall well being of the patients. Unfortunately there is insufficient evidence to make conclusion about the utility of individualised homoeopathic medicine in management of adhesive capsulitis.

So a study is need to undertake to explore the possible effects of individualized homoeopathic medicines in relieving pain and stiffness, reduction in limitation, and disability in activities of daily life in the patients suffering from adhesive capsulitis.

The researchers at CRU Siliguri proposed to undertake an open label observational clinical study to evaluate the utility of individualized homoeopathy in management of pain and stiffness in patients with adhesive capsulitis
