Compare the short term outcome by measuring the mean decrease of pain after intra-articular Non-Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) Ketorolac and Hyaluronic acid injection

Comparison of intra articular NSAID (ketorolac) injection versus hyaluronic acid injection for the mean decrease of pain score (according to UCLA shoulder rating scale) in the management of adhesive capsulitis.

Article specifications

This clinical trial was published in 2019 in Journal of Pak J Pharm Sci. (IF 2018: 0.43) by American specialists. The aim of this study was to compare the short term outcome by measuring the mean decrease of pain in adhesive capsulitis using University of California Los-Angeles (UCLA) shoulder rating scale after intra-articular Non-Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) Ketorolac and Hyaluronic acid injection. Total 160 patients with adhesive capsulitis for six months' age between 18 to 70 years were taken and randomly divided into two equal groups by computer allocation method. The 80 patients in Group A received Intra-articular (NSAID) Ketorolac injection while patients in Group B were given Intra-articular Hyaluronic acid.

 

Results

The mean decrease of pain in Adhesive capsulitis using UCLA rating scale was significantly better in NSAID group as compared to Hyaluronic acid group.
