Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Pragmatic Clinical Trial
Management of adults with primary frozen shoulder in secondary care (UK FROST): a multicentre, pragmatic, three-arm, superiority randomised clinical trial.

We compared these two surgical interventions with early structured physiotherapy plus steroid injection. ⋯ The National Institute for Health Research Health Technology Assessment programme.
