Which shoulder therapy works best? mulligan vs PNF put to the test
NCT ID NCT07675655
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two physical therapy techniques—Mulligan mobilization and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)—added to standard care for people with subacromial impingement syndrome, a common cause of shoulder pain. Participants, aged 20 to 40, will receive one of three treatments: standard care alone, standard care plus PNF, or standard care plus Mulligan mobilization. The goal is to see which approach best improves pain, shoulder function, strength, and range of motion.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
physical therapy techniques (Mulligan mobilization and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation)
What this could lead to
If one technique proves superior, it could offer a more effective, non-surgical option for managing shoulder impingement pain and improving daily function.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 69 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The study compares two established therapies, so dramatic breakthroughs are unlikely.
