Etiology, natural history and therapy of the frozen shoulder still remains obscure. Therefore observation of natural history is of interest.
In a retrospective study 140 patients with different therapies were followed-up.
28 (20%) patients were not considered as healed because of persisting complaints during the whole follow-up period with an average duration of 49 months. Mobilisation under anaesthesia (27 patients) showed an less improval in range of motion with a shortening of complaint period.
The existence of a subgroup of patients with no response on regular therapy is assumed.
肩周炎的病因、自然病程及治疗方法仍不明确。因此，对其自然病程的观察具有重要意义。
在一项回顾性研究中，对140例接受不同治疗的患者进行了随访。
28例（20%）患者在平均49个月的整个随访期内持续存在症状，未被视为治愈。麻醉下手法松解（27例患者）在改善活动范围方面效果较差，但症状持续时间缩短。
推测存在一组对常规治疗无反应的患者亚组。
