FROZEN SHOULDER

This study tests whether a robotic exoskeleton can help people with frozen shoulder regain movement and ease pain. Forty adults with stiff-phase frozen shoulder will use the robot for assisted range-of-motion and resistance exercises. The goal is to see if robot-assisted therapy …

This study tests a new approach for frozen shoulder: instead of directly exercising the painful shoulder, participants will do resistance exercises with their healthy arm. The goal is to see if this 'cross training' can improve shoulder strength, movement, and daily function. The…

This study tests whether adding hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to standard care can improve frozen shoulder symptoms in women going through menopause. About 60 women will receive either HRT plus standard care or standard care alone. The goal is to see if the hormones help redu…

This study tests whether adding Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) — a gentle, hands-on therapy — to standard care helps people with frozen shoulder recover faster and feel more satisfied. About 300 adults who have not yet been treated for frozen shoulder will be assigned t…

This study tests whether a home-based virtual reality (VR) exercise program is practical and helpful for people with shoulder pain lasting more than 3 months. Thirty adults with rotator cuff syndrome, frozen shoulder, or shoulder instability will use a VR headset for 15 minutes d…

This study tests whether giving a nerve block (a numbing injection) before a standard frozen shoulder treatment called hydrodistension can reduce pain during the procedure and improve recovery. About 50 adults with frozen shoulder will be randomly assigned to receive either hydro…

This study looks at whether adding neck and upper back mobility exercises to standard care can improve posture, reduce shoulder pain, and increase range of motion in people with frozen shoulder. Researchers will measure shoulder movement and head posture in 40 adults aged 20 to 7…

This study tests two treatments—low-level laser therapy and muscle energy techniques—to see which better reduces pain and improves shoulder movement in adults with diabetes and frozen shoulder. About 36 people aged 18 to 65 will take part. The goal is to help doctors choose the b…
