Abstract
Introduction: Adhesive capsulitis is a painful impairment characterized by the restriction of movement of shoulder due to the adhesions across the glenohumeral joint, injection of platelet-rich plasma is effective treatment to reduce the pain and restore the movement of shoulder.
 Aim: To assess the effectiveness single PRP injection in management of adhesive capsulitis.
 Material and Methods: This study enrolled 12 patients experiencing the shoulder pain for at least 3 months and attending our medical college hospital. Patients with adhesive capsulitis were given a single injection of PRP (4 ml) and followed up for 12 weeks, VAS scores and Disability Index scores were recorded and compared with the baseline scores.
 Result: In present study majority of patients were females with mean duration of symptoms was 3 months. Post PRP treatment all the patients have shown significant improvement on pains VAS score, movement VAS score on 2nd, 6th, and 12th weeks follow up.
 Conclusion: Present studies conclude that the AC is more prevalent among females which can be treated effectively with PRP technique. PRP as is a simple, safe and cost-effective management of AC without any adverse effects.

Post PRP treatment all the patients have shown significant improvement on pains VAS score, movement VAS score on 2nd, 6th, and 12th weeks follow up. Conclusion: Present studies conclude that the AC is more prevalent among females which can be treated effectively with PRP technique. Especially those surgically treated for subarachnoid haemorrhage, are more susceptible to developing adhesive shoulder capsulitis. 2
