This early-phase trial will test four orthobiologic treatments—PRP, bone marrow concentrate, hyaluronic acid, and nanofat—in 300 adults with various muscle, joint, tendon, or bone conditions. The goal is to see if these natural substances can reduce pain and improve joint functio…

This study tests whether a home-based virtual reality (VR) exercise program is practical and helpful for people with shoulder pain lasting more than three months. Thirty adults aged 16 and older with rotator cuff syndrome, frozen shoulder, or shoulder instability will use a VR he…

Frozen shoulder causes pain and stiffness. A common treatment called hydrodistension injects fluid into the shoulder joint to stretch it, but it can be painful. This study tests whether giving a nerve block first can reduce that pain and improve results. Fifty adults with frozen …

This study tests whether combining two manual therapy techniques—Mulligan mobilization and scapular mobilization—can improve shoulder movement and reduce pain in people with frozen shoulder better than standard physiotherapy. Thirty-eight adults aged 30 to 60 with unilateral froz…

This study explores whether a non-invasive treatment called extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) can reduce pain and improve shoulder movement in people with chronic adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) who haven't gotten better with standard physiotherapy. Researchers will …

This study tests three ways to inject medicine into the shoulder joint for people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). Thirty adults with shoulder pain and stiffness will receive a steroid and numbing injection through the front, back, or both. The goal is to see which met…

This study looks at whether a mobile app can help people with common pains (neck, shoulder, back, or knee) do their prescribed home exercises more regularly. About 30 adults will be split into two groups: one using the app and one doing traditional exercises. The goal is to see i…

This study looks at whether adding nerve-stretching exercises to standard capsule-stretching exercises can improve shoulder movement in people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). About 50 adults aged 40–70 with moderate-to-severe frozen shoulder will be split into two gro…
