NCT ID NCT07227662
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether using a home-based electrical stimulation device, along with standard physical therapy, can help reduce pain and improve shoulder function in people with frozen shoulder. Ten adults diagnosed with the condition will use the device at home while continuing their usual clinic therapy. Researchers will measure how easy the device is to use and whether it leads to any improvement in symptoms.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a convenient home-based option to ease pain and improve shoulder movement for people with frozen shoulder.
