Pain Medicine. https://doi.org/10.1093/PM/PNAF0871526-237510.1093/PM/PNAF087https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14454/4870This study evaluates the efficacy of 2 minimally invasiveprocedures—coracohumeral ligament (CHL) percutaneousrelease and coracohumeral ligament release (CHLR) combined with coracoacromial ligament release (CACLR)—inimproving shoulder mobility in patients diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis. The primary outcomes measured were therange of motion in external rotation and abduction pre- andpost-procedure. Statistical analyses, including paired andindependent t-tests, were employed to assess within-groupimprovements and between-group differences. The findingssuggest that both procedures significantly enhance shouldermobility, with the combined CHLR and CACLR approachdemonstrating superior improvements in abduction.eng© The Author(s) 2025other2026-01-261526-4637
