NCT ID NCT07497737

First seen Apr 09, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026 · Updated 14 times

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.
