FROZEN SHOULDER

This trial tests whether adding pain neuroscience education and graded motor imagery to standard physiotherapy can improve pain, movement, and fear of movement in people with type 2 diabetes and frozen shoulder. Fifty adults aged 40-65 with diabetic adhesive capsulitis will recei…

This trial tests whether adding hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to a standard physiotherapy program improves pain, movement, and function in postmenopausal women with frozen shoulder. Fifty-six women aged 40 to 60 with stage I or II frozen shoulder will receive 12 weeks of supe…

This study tests if deltoid strengthening exercises can reduce pain and improve movement in people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). 48 adults aged 40-60 with stage II or III frozen shoulder will do specific isometric exercises targeting the deltoid muscle. Researchers …

This study tests whether adding Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) — a non-invasive, 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 assi…

This study tests a new type of nerve block (PENG block) for people with chronic shoulder pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. 45 adults will get an ultrasound-guided injection of numbing medicine and steroid. Researchers will measure pain, shoulder function, and satis…

This study tests whether cross training—exercising the healthy arm—can improve pain, function, and mobility in people with frozen shoulder, without directly working the painful shoulder. About 38 adults aged 18-65 with unilateral frozen shoulder will be randomly assigned to stand…

This study tests whether a robotic arm exoskeleton can help people with frozen shoulder move better and feel less pain. About 40 adults with stiff-phase frozen shoulder will use the robot for assisted exercises. The goal is to see if the robot improves shoulder range of motion an…

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 tests whether low-level laser therapy or muscle energy techniques work better for reducing pain and improving shoulder movement in people with type 2 diabetes who have frozen shoulder. Thirty-six adults aged 18 to 65 will receive one of the two treatments plus standard…

This study will explore if menopause and blood sugar levels are linked to frozen shoulder in women. Researchers will survey women who have had frozen shoulder and closely monitor a smaller group of perimenopausal women with and without the condition. The goal is to understand why…
