Manual therapy and exercise for adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder)
Matthew J. Page,Sally Green,Sharon Kramer,Renea V Johnston,Brodwen McBain,Marisa Chau,Rachelle Buchbinder +6 more
TL;DR: Evidence of moderate quality shows that a combination of manual therapy and exercise for six weeks probably results in less improvement at seven weeks but a similar number of adverse events compared with glucocorticoid injection, and the few outcome differences between interventions that were clinically important were detected only up to seven weeks.

Electrotherapy modalities for adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder)
Matthew J. Page,Sally Green,Sharon Kramer,Renea V Johnston,Brodwen McBain,Rachelle Buchbinder +5 more
TL;DR: The main outcomes of interest were participant-reported pain relief of 30% or greater, overall pain, function, global assessment of treatment success, active shoulder abduction, quality of life, and the number of participants experiencing any adverse event.

Acupuncture for neuropathic pain in adults

Development of a shoulder pain and disability index.
TL;DR: High negative correlations between changes in SPADi scores and changes in shoulder ROM indicated the SPADI detected changes in clinical status over short time intervals, and should prove useful for both clinical and research purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The frozen shoulder. Diagnosis and management.
TL;DR: The differentiation between the stiff and painful shoulder without any joint capsule involvement and with capsule involvement (true adhesive capsulitis) must be established before a rational treatment can be prescribed.

Importance of placement of intra-articular steroid injections.
TL;DR: Strenuous training at low temperatures seems to be pathogenetic for asthma, possibly due to the repeated breathing of large amounts of cold air.

TL;DR: A single intraarticular injection of corticosteroid administered under fluoroscopy combined with a simple home exercise program is effective in improving shoulder pain and disability in patients with adhesive capsulitis.

Diagnosis and treatment of insect sensitivity.
TL;DR: The diagnosis of systemic reactions to insect stings usually presents no difficulty by history and as a rule the diagnosis has been made before the allergist sees the patient, but a differentiation between local and systemic reactions should be made.
