Subjects with idiopathic adhesive capsulitis in the "frozen" or "thawing" phase who have failed pain management and failed improvement in range of motion after at least 3 months of supervised, regimented conservative treatment; or who after less than 3 months of conservative treatment demand a quicker return to function.
