Immunological studies in frozen shoulder.
This immunological study of 40 patients with frozen shoulder showed a pretreatment increase in immune complex levels, C-reactive protein, and decreased lymphocyte transformation to phytohemagglutinin and concanavalin A compared to a control group. Repeat estimations after 8 months showed that values tended to approach control levels.
