Frozen shoulder

Researchers compare the GDS Muscle and Joint Chains Method with conventional physiotherapy in adults with frozen shoulder. Thirty participants receive eight 50-minute sessions over four weeks. The trial measures changes in shoulder range of motion and pain intensity to see whethe…

This study tests whether combining two manual therapy techniques—Mulligan mobilization and scapular mobilization—can improve shoulder movement and reduce pain in people with frozen shoulder better than standard physiotherapy. Thirty-eight adults aged 30 to 60 with unilateral froz…

This trial tests whether using an iPhone with interactive rehabilitation software (HappyGoGo) for daily home exercise can improve pain, range of motion, and quality of life in people with frozen shoulder. Thirty participants are randomly assigned to either standard rehab plus the…

This trial tests whether a wide-awake local anesthesia technique called WALANT can match the results of general anesthesia for shoulder manipulation in people with frozen shoulder. Adults who have had symptoms for at least six months without improvement are randomly assigned to o…

This study tested whether steroid injections given every two weeks can improve shoulder function and reduce pain in people with frozen shoulder. Forty adults received either an ultrasound-guided injection into the shoulder or a shot in the buttock, plus a placebo. The goal was to…

This study looked at whether adding ultrasound-guided hyaluronic acid injections to a standard rehab program helps people with frozen shoulder. Sixty adults aged 40 to 70 with frozen-phase adhesive capsulitis took part. One group got three weekly injections plus six weeks of reha…

This study looked at two different physical therapy techniques—Gong mobilization and Spencer technique—to see which works better for diabetic patients with frozen shoulder. 36 adults with diabetes and stage II frozen shoulder took part. Researchers measured pain, range of motion,…

This study tested whether adding brain-based treatments—like pain education and sensory training—to standard physical therapy helps people with frozen shoulder more than therapy alone. 21 adults with chronic frozen shoulder were split into two groups: one received only convention…

This study tested whether giving general practitioners a simple, evidence-based guideline improves care for people with shoulder pain. 160 adults with shoulder pain took part in Norwegian GP clinics. Researchers measured pain, disability, and quality of life to see if the guideli…

This study looked at 87 people with frozen shoulder to see if their level of central sensitization—a condition where the nervous system is extra sensitive to pain—affected how well they responded to a shoulder injection. Researchers measured central sensitization using a question…
