Aim: To look for improvement in VAS, Range of Motion and SPADI due to PRP and steroids and to compare their efficacies. Materials and method: Two groups of Patients with adhesive capsulitis of shoulder were randomly selected. Group A (n=20) was injected with PRP and Group B (n=20) with methyl Prednisolone in aseptic technique after verbal consent. Assessment was done before the block then after 1st week, 4th week and 3months after the block.
