Further study details as provided by Vanderbilt University:

Primary Outcome Measures:

To use color doppler ultrasound to grade inflammatory changes in the rotator interval of patients with adhesive capsulitis. [ Time Frame: Patients will be evaluated at each of their regularly scheduled clinic follow-up visits. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

To use color doppler ultrasound to quantitatively measure inflammation of the joint capsule in subjects with adhesive capsulitis. Specific metrics that measure vascularity as a surrogate for inflammation will be used. [ Time Frame: Patients will be evaluated at each of their regularly scheduled clinic follow-up visits. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment:	50
Study Start Date:	December 2006
Estimated Study Completion Date:	December 2009
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	December 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
