Summary
This study looks at whether adding extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) to usual treatments like physical therapy and steroid injections can improve pain and movement in people with frozen shoulder. About 94 adults aged 20-80 with shoulder pain and stiffness for at least a month will take part. The goal is to see if ESWT helps them recover faster and with less discomfort.
