Does Leptin and Insulin Levels Influence Pain and Disability in Subjects With Frozen Shoulder? A Cross‐Sectional Study

Elevated levels of leptin and HOMA (insulin resistance) are significantly associated with increased pain and disability in patients with frozen shoulder, as measured by SPADI scores. Higher leptin and HOMA levels are also associated with reduced range of motion, particularly in shoulder flexion. Targeting metabolic and inflammatory markers such as leptin and insulin resistance could inform new therapeutic approaches for managing frozen shoulder, with potential implications for treatment strategies in other inflammatory musculoskeletal conditions.
