Summary

This study compares two treatments for frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis): Mulligan mobilization (a hands-on therapy) and shockwave therapy (sound waves). Sixty adults aged 40-60 with stiff, painful shoulders for at least 3 months will receive one of the treatments for 4 weeks. Researchers will measure pain, range of motion, function, and shoulder tissue thickness using ultrasound.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Mulligan mobilization (a type of manual therapy) and extracorporeal shockwave therapy (a device that delivers sound waves)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show which therapy is better for reducing pain and improving movement in people with frozen shoulder.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both treatments may offer only temporary relief.
