Protocol summary

Study aim
The aim of this study is comparing of the effectiveness of intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid, hyalase and corticosteroids in reducing pain, improving function, shoulder range of motion, and the level of treatment's satisfaction in patients with frozen shoulder.
Design
A controlled, parallel-group, double blind, randomized, phase 3 clinical trial on 90 patients. Random allocation software is used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
Subjects, interventionist, outcome assessor, statistician and the researcher are all blind to treatment groups allocation; using pre-filled syringes and sealed envelopes. Subjects will be randomly allocated in 3 groups. The study will take place in Modarres hospital, Tehran.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria include: people aged 25 to 70 years who have been diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis and have not responded to conservative treatments and have scored 5 or higher based on pain intensity scale (VAS) and less than 6 months from the onset of symptoms .Exclusion criteria : History of shoulder trauma in the last 6 months; history of humerus fracture or tearing of rotator cuff muscles; pregnancy and breastfeeding; history of shoulder surgery and inflammatory systemic diseases
Intervention groups
Intervention group1: includes 30 patients who are treated with Hyalase injection, 1500 units in 5 cc of normal saline along with 2 cc of 2% lidocaine. Intervention group 2: includes 30 patients who are treated with 2.5 cc of hyaluronic acid with 2.5 cc of normal saline and 2 cc of lidocaine. Control group: includes 30 patients who are treated with injection of 40 mg of triamcinolone along with 4 cc of normal saline and 2 cc of 2% lidocaine.
Main outcome variables
Active range of motion of shoulder, assessment of shoulder pain, assessment of patient's performance in daily tasks and degree of patient's satisfaction.

Inclusion criteria:
People aged 25 to 70 years have been diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis based on history and physical examination and did not respond to conservative treatments including non-steroidal pain relievers, exercise therapy and physical modalities. According to VAS criteria, they have scored 5 or higher. More than 30 degrees restriction of shoulder active range of motion in at least 2 of 4 directions of motion (abduction, flexion, external rotation and internal rotation) compared to the range of motion of the healthy shoulder (opposite side). Less than 6 months have passed since the onset of symptoms.

Randomization description
In this clinical trial study, 90 patients diagnosed with frozen shoulder will be randomly enrolled. Block randomization method will be used for random allocation of people in the studied groups. In this method, blocks of 9 will be used with a ratio of 1:1:1. Random Allocation software will be used to generate random sequences. For concealment, random allocation concealment method will be used, which is marked with the letters A (Hyalase receiving group), B (Triamcinolone receiving group) and C (Hyaluronic acid receiving group) and recorded on cards. These cards will be placed in the sealed envelopes in order. In order to maintain the created sequence, numbering will be done on the outer surface of the envelopes. Finally, the numbered envelopes will be placed in a folder. Then based on The order of entry of the eligible participants, the envelopes will be opened and the assigned group of that participant will be known.
