ADHESIVE CAPSULITIS

This study tests whether adding the Niel Asher technique (a type of massage) to standard sleeper stretches and physical therapy can reduce pain, improve shoulder movement, and ease disability in people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). About 36 adults aged 40-60 with mo…

This study tests whether adding a muscle-release technique to standard shoulder exercises can better reduce pain and improve movement in people with frozen shoulder (stage II). About 58 adults aged 35–70 with shoulder stiffness and pain will receive either standard exercises alon…

This study compares three different NSAID painkillers (diclofenac, meloxicam, indomethacin) combined with home exercises for frozen shoulder. 120 adults with shoulder pain and stiffness will be randomly assigned to one of the drugs. The goal is to see which drug works best and wh…

This study tests if a treatment called Perineural Injection Therapy (PIT) can reduce pain and improve movement in people with frozen shoulder. 24 adults will receive either PIT plus physiotherapy or physiotherapy alone. Researchers will measure pain, range of motion, and any side…

This study compares two physical therapy techniques—Gongs mobilization and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)—in 44 women aged 40-60 with frozen shoulder. Participants receive one of the two methods plus standard care for 4 weeks. The goal is to see which better redu…

This study tests whether adding gentle mobilization of the upper back to standard shoulder treatment helps people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) feel less pain, move better, and do daily activities more easily. About 34 adults aged 40-65 with shoulder pain lasting 3-4…

This study explores whether immersive virtual reality-based exercise therapy can reduce pain, improve shoulder function, sleep, and thinking skills in people with mild-to-moderate frozen shoulder (Grade 1-2 adhesive capsulitis). Researchers will enroll 36 adults aged 18-64 who ar…

This study tests whether nunchaku exercises can reduce pain and improve movement in middle-aged and older adults with frozen shoulder. Fifty participants will do either nunchaku or standard exercises for 12 weeks. Researchers will check shoulder function before, during, and after…

This study compares two treatments for early frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis): manipulation under anesthesia versus a supervised home rehabilitation program. Researchers will enroll 300 adults aged 40-80 with symptoms lasting 3 months or less. The goal is to see which approa…

This study tests whether adding a suprascapular nerve block (a temporary numbing injection) to standard frozen shoulder treatments like physical therapy and cortisone shots can help people recover faster. About 62 adults with significant shoulder stiffness will be randomly assign…

This study looks at whether adding physical therapy to steroid injections helps people with frozen shoulder more than steroid injections alone. About 260 adults with frozen shoulder will be split into two groups: one gets physical therapy plus steroid shots, the other gets steroi…

This study looks at whether adding ultrasound-guided shoulder injections to a home exercise program can improve pain, movement, and daily function in people with chronic frozen shoulder. About 68 adults with shoulder pain lasting at least 3 months will receive either one type of …

This study looks at whether a specific type of frozen shoulder surgery (360° capsular release) affects nearby nerves. Researchers will use electrical tests (EMG and nerve studies) before and 12 weeks after surgery in 15 adults aged 21-70. The goal is to see if the surgery is safe…
