Effectiveness of Shock Wave Therapy versus Intra-Articular Corticosteroid Injection in Diabetic Frozen Shoulder Patients’ Management: Randomized Controlled Trial

Frozen shoulder is a major musculoskeletal illness in diabetic patients. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of shock wave and corticosteroid injection management frozen Fifty subjects with were divided randomly into group A (the intra-articular group) B that received 12 sessions therapy, while each patient both groups traditional physiotherapy program. The level pain disability, range motion, as well glucose triad evaluated before assignment group, during at end study. Compared pretreatment evaluations there significant improvements disability flexion abduction motion (p < 0.05). revealed more improvement where p was 0.001 for abduction. Regarding effect interventions on triad, control B, 0.001. Shock waves provide effective safer treatment modality than injection.
