Trial Outcomes & Findings for Percutaneous Interruption of the Coracohumeral Ligament for the Treatment of Frozen Shoulder (NCT NCT04549051)

NCT ID: NCT04549051

Last Updated: 2024-05-29

Results Overview

Change in shoulder range of motion (ROM) (external rotation and abduction) procedure by at least 100%, measured with goniometer. Increased degrees of motion is indicative of more favorable/better outcomes.

Use of the TENEX device for sectioning of the CHL There were 30 subjects directly enrolled to TENEX group and 1 out of these 30 subjects had SAE. After 9 Subjects' crossing over, there were totally 39 subject who got the TENEX procedure in this group. 3 out of 9 crossed over subjects had SAE after crossing over. So, totally 4 subjects had SAE after receiving the TENEX procedure.

There were 16 subjects enrolled to Local Anesthetic group. 9 Subjects crossed over into TENEX group at the one month follow-up. So after 1 month follow-up, Only 7 Subjects remained in Local Anesthetic group and these 7 subjects did not have any SAE. 3 out of 9 crossed over subjects had SAE after crossing over.
