Bowen technique vs. soft tissue therapy for frozen shoulder pain
This study compares two massage-like treatments (Bowen technique and dynamic soft tissue mobilization) to see which better reduces pain, improves movement, and helps daily function in people with frozen shoulder. It only includes diabetic patients with specific stages of frozen shoulder.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 50–80 - NCT07134010Recruiting
Sugar-water injections for frozen shoulder
This study tests a treatment called perineural injection therapy, where a sugar-water solution (dextrose) is injected around the nerves in your shoulder. It may help reduce pain and improve movement in people with frozen shoulder that hasn't improved with other treatments.
Kuala Selangor, SelangorAges 18 years+ - NCT07203963Recruiting
Niel-Asher technique for frozen shoulder recovery
This trial tests a manual therapy method called the Niel-Asher technique for people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). It aims to improve shoulder movement and reduce pain. You may qualify if your frozen shoulder has been present for at least three months and you have tender spots in certain shoulder muscles.
Islamabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT07236229Recruiting
VR Therapy for Early Frozen Shoulder
This study tests if using a virtual reality (VR) headset during physical therapy helps people with early-stage frozen shoulder recover better than standard therapy alone.
