Recruiting studies
- NCT02283996RecruitingPhase 4
Compare physical therapy for frozen shoulder
This study looks at how well physical therapy works for “frozen shoulder” and also compares the practical cost impact. It will randomly assign you to one of the study groups to see which approach helps most.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06939530Recruiting
Comparing shoulder stretch treatments for frozen shoulder
This study compares two different amounts of fluid injected into the shoulder joint to treat frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). The goal is to see which volume works better for pain and movement.
CórdobaAges 30–70 - NCT07696923Recruiting
Treating frozen shoulder with microembolization or steroid injection
This trial compares two treatments for frozen shoulder: a new procedure that blocks tiny blood vessels (TAME) and a steroid injection. You must have had shoulder pain for at least a month and be willing to do physical therapy.
TaipeiAges 18–80 - NCT05214547Recruiting
Focal vibration therapy for frozen shoulder pain and motion
This trial studies whether a vibration device applied to the shoulder can reduce pain and improve range of motion in people with frozen shoulder (also called adhesive capsulitis). If you fit the specific shoulder and symptom pattern, it may be an option to consider alongside standard care.
BitlisAges 18 years+ - NCT05384093Recruiting
ERMI Shoulder Flexionater outcomes for stiff, painful shoulders
This trial studies how well the ERMI Shoulder Flexionater helps improve shoulder motion and pain. It includes people with frozen shoulder, people who are still stiff after shoulder surgery, and people needing a repeat procedure to treat stiffness.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06229964Recruiting
Frozen shoulder treatment: injection and nerve block
This trial compares two treatments for frozen shoulder: a corticosteroid injection into the shoulder joint and a nerve block (injection near the shoulder nerve) to reduce pain and improve movement. It aims to find which approach works better for people with frozen shoulder.
BrusselsAges 18–99 - NCT06553716Recruiting
Shoulder injection for frozen shoulder: a trial
This trial tests whether an ultrasound-guided injection of fluid and a steroid (triamcinolone acetonide) into the stiff shoulder joint can help improve range of motion and reduce pain in people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis).
Yinchuan, NingxiaAges 18–75 - NCT06613594Recruiting
Gentle Shoulder Stretches for Frozen Shoulder Treatment
This study compares two types of gentle shoulder stretching techniques (Kaltenborn Translatoric Glides vs. Traction Mobilization) to see which one helps reduce pain and improve movement in people with frozen shoulder. It is for adults aged 40–65 who have had chronic shoulder pain for more than 3 months.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–65 - NCT06888791Recruiting
Hydro dissection for frozen shoulder: ultrasound vs X-ray guidance
This trial compares two ways to guide a fluid injection for frozen shoulder—one using ultrasound and one using X-ray. The goal is to see which technique works better to reduce pain and improve movement.
AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT07235982Recruiting
Shoulder block plus steroid vs. steroid alone for frozen shoulder pain
This trial compares two treatments for frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis): a steroid injection alone versus a steroid injection plus a nerve block. The goal is to find which approach provides better pain relief for people who have not improved after two weeks of conservative care.
ZagazigAges 41–65 - NCT07236658Recruiting
Using AI to detect arm problems after breast cancer surgery
This trial uses artificial intelligence (a computer program) to help predict arm and shoulder problems that can happen after breast cancer surgery. It aims to find these issues early so they can be treated better.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07275164Recruiting
High-intensity interval exercise for shoulder pain
This trial tests if high-intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise) can help people with long-term shoulder pain caused by rotator cuff problems or frozen shoulder.
WilrijkAges 18 years+ - NCT07278323RecruitingPhase 4
Hormone therapy for frozen shoulder
This study tests if hormone replacement therapy can help treat frozen shoulder. It is designed for people with frozen shoulder in just one shoulder who are not currently using hormones and have no history of hormone-sensitive cancer.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT07486193Recruiting
Nunchaku exercise for frozen shoulder relief
This study tests whether practicing Nunchaku (a traditional martial arts tool) can help people with frozen shoulder, particularly those in the thawing stage. It aims to improve shoulder movement and reduce pain.
Hong KongAges 45 years+ - NCT07493213Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided shoulder injections for frozen shoulder
This study tests whether ultrasound-guided injections into the shoulder can improve pain and movement in people with frozen shoulder. It may help if you have had shoulder pain for at least 3 months and other treatments haven't worked well.
Konya, SelçukluAges 18–75 - NCT07495306Recruiting
Measuring nerve changes after frozen shoulder surgery
This study checks how shoulder nerves change after a surgery called capsular release for frozen shoulder. It may help doctors understand recovery better.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 21–70 - NCT07513350Recruiting
Exercise and anti-fibrotic treatment for frozen shoulder
This study tests whether exercise combined with an anti-fibrotic medication (a drug that reduces scar tissue) helps people with frozen shoulder regain shoulder movement. Frozen shoulder causes stiffness and pain that limits your ability to move your arm.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for adhesive capsulitis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 41 recruiting adhesive capsulitis studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a adhesive capsulitis trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a adhesive capsulitis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
