What medicine is most effective for frozen shoulder

The pain of frozen shoulder is mainly caused by extensive soft tissue edema, hyperplasia and spasm. Drug treatment is mainly analgesic and anti-inflammatory, but there is no best drug treatment effect in clinical practice. At present, the standardized treatment of non-steroidal drugs such as Fenbid, Celebrex, Diclofenac, and Voltaren is mainly to relieve inflammatory reactions and alleviate the development of the disease through drugs. Since some drugs have certain side effects, it is recommended that clinical medication be combined with regular hospitals and subject to face-to-face guidance from doctors.

Electrical stimulation therapy is divided into low frequency, medium frequency and high frequency, and is mainly used to treat soft tissue diseases such as frozen shoulder, lumbar spondylosis, cervical spondylosis, etc. Low-frequency electrotherapy can effectively prevent muscle atrophy and promote nerve reinnervation; medium-frequency electrotherapy can be used for soft tissue pain in deeper locations; high-frequency electrotherapy has the deepest radiation and the strongest swelling reduction effect. Weak electrical stimulation has no obvious side effects on the human body.

Electrical stimulation therapy can also be used to introduce drug ions, introducing analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs into the skin through electric current to treat inflammatory diseases of skin and soft tissues.
