movements. In the early stages, the capsule becomes contracted with loss of the inferior capsular fold. In the later phases, increased capsular fibrosis occurs. Abduction and external rotation are the gross movements that would be restricted mostly (A I Binder et al, 1984) limit the glenohumeral motion and later lead to the complication of joint and soft tissue contractures. The painful limitation of ROM will cause functional limitations and disabilities.
Iontophoresis is the introduction of topically applied, physiologically active ions into the epidermis and mucous membranes of the body by the use of continuous direct current. Even today, Iontophoresis is not considered as a first choice of treatment in Adhesive capsulitis. But there has been a recent resurgence in its use and literature review suggests Iontophoresis offers the promise of therapeutic efficacy and cost effectiveness (Liliana L Jorge, 2011)
Even today, iontophoresis is not considered as a first choice of treatment for pain relief in adhesive capsulitis. Different studies had been conducted to evaluate the effects of iontophoresis in the management of pain (Kezban Yigister et al, 2002) Such studies did not give significance to the improvement on functional capacities of the patients.
This study was conducted to detect the effectiveness of Iontophoresis with lidocaine over conventional treatment of Adhesive capsulitis for pain relief, improving ROM and functional abilities of the patients.
