Hands-On healing: new study tests OMT for frozen shoulder relief
NCT ID NCT07497737
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 assigned to one of four groups: physical therapy alone, physical therapy plus a steroid injection, physical therapy plus OMT, or all three. Researchers will track recovery time, range of motion, and patient satisfaction for up to one year.
