Frozen Shoulder
Diagnosis and treatment The diagnosis is made on the clinical symptoms of a frozen shoulder. The course of the disease is usually mild with spontaneous remission within a year. [diapedia.org]
Abstract I would appreciate an opportunity to inquire of your readers whether in their experience with children or adolescents any of them have encountered reflex dystrophy, or the shoulderhand syndrome, or an idiopathic frozen shoulder. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
Journal of Medical Case Reports, Jul 2008 Introduction Shoulder-hand syndrome is a relatively rare clinical entity classified as a complex regional pain syndrome type 1 and consisting essentially of a painful 'frozen shoulder' with disability, swelling [paperity.org]
Treatment
The full syndrome recurred in six patients, all of whom responded to a second course of treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Recovery after CRPS treatment varies The prognosis for CRPS type I is better than that of CRPS type II When the syndrome continues for more than 1 year, it is likely that residual impairment will be present Regardless of the treatment afforded, patients [orthopaedicsone.com]
Rapid evaluation is necessary, because the earlier treatment is started, the better the prognosis [ 8 ]. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

Pathophysiology
We conclude that a SHS complicating CSCI is associated with increased amplitude of the SSR, supporting the theory that sympathetic hyperactivity is important in the pathophysiology of reflex sympathetic dystrophy in this setting. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The pathophysiology is not completely clear but a predominant 'sympathetic' factor affecting the neural and vascular supply to the affected parts seems to be involved. [paperity.org]
Prevention
Swelling and contracture of the hands continued to develop despite oral corticosteroid therapy, and one patient underwent surgery in an attempt to prevent the development of further deformity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
