[Treatment of 48 cases of frozen shoulder with manual therapy under brachial plexus anesthesia through a retained tube].
Manual therapy was adopted for treatment of 48 patients with frozen shoulder, under brachial plexus block through a tube that was not withdrawn until 1 to 2 weeks after the initiation of the treatment course. Satisfactory results were achieved in most of the patients after the treatment, indicating the safety and feasibility of brachial plexus block for pain relief through long-term retention of the tube.
