Comment to: Adhesive Capsulitis Secondary to COVID-19 Vaccination - A Case Series
Abstract
We would like to share ideas on the publication “Adhesive Capsulitis Secondary to COVID-19 Vaccination - A Case Series.” The purpose of this study is to examine the pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, management, and outcomes of shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) following COVID-19 vaccination. Seven individuals with adhesive capsulitis who reported within four weeks of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine in the afflicted arm were retrospectively identified by the researchers. The study offers details on the patients' first symptoms, physical symptoms, length of time since immunisation, treatment plans, and clinical and functional results. All patients' pain levels and range of motion improved with non-surgical care, including physiotherapy and hydrodilatation.
