Summary

This study will test whether adding exercise training to standard electrotherapy (heat, TENS, ultrasound) helps people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) more than electrotherapy alone. Thirty-two adults aged 35-60 will be split into two groups and treated for 3 weeks. Researchers will measure pain, range of motion, shoulder function, and changes in shoulder tissue using ultrasound.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: exercise training
What this could lead to: If it works, this could show that adding simple exercises to standard therapy helps people with frozen shoulder move better and feel less pain.
What could go wrong: This is a very small, early-stage study with only 32 people, so results may not apply to everyone. It also does not test long-term effects or compare against a no-treatment group.
