ADHESIVE CAPSULITIS: THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT

Adhesive capsulitis, or “frozen shoulder,” is a painful condition that progresses through three phases: freezing, frozen, and thawing. This study evaluated the efficacy of glenohumeral hydrodistension combined with physical therapy in 40 patients with adhesive capsulitis (23 in stage 1 and 17 in stage 2). Patients were assessed at baseline and at 2, 4, and 6 months post-treatment for range of motion, pain, and functionality. Results showed significant improvements in shoulder range of motion (except extension) and in pain and functionality scores. Phase 2 patients had more difficulty recovering from internal rotation. The study concluded that ultrasound-assisted hydrodistention with targeted exercise effectively improves pain relief, reduces disability, and increases range of motion, particularly when treatment begins before phase 2.

What is the primary advantage of using ultrasound and microbubbles in brain therapy?

 

It requires no specialized equipment

It allows non-invasive delivery of drugs across the BBB

It provides real-time monitoring of brain activity

It is less expensive than traditional methods

3 / 5

How does ultrasound work in conjunction with microbubbles to facilitate drug delivery?

 

By creating a magnetic field

By shrinking the size of the therapeutic agents

By using high-frequency sound waves to burst the microbubbles

By heating the brain tissue
