Focal vibration therapy for frozen shoulder pain and motion
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- You have frozen shoulder on one side only
- Your shoulder symptoms have lasted more than 3 months
- You have shoulder pain
- Your shoulder movement is noticeably limited (more than half reduced) in at least three movements like lifting the arm, bending it, or turning it inward/outward
- You have not had prior surgery on that shoulder

This trial tests a manual therapy technique for people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). It aims to see if treating the fascia—the connective tissue around muscles—can improve shoulder movement and reduce pain.
This study tests whether adding a specific muscle-release technique to shoulder exercises helps reduce pain and improve movement in frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). Frozen shoulder causes stiffness and pain that limits arm movement; this trial explores whether combining two physical therapy methods works better than standard care.
This study compares two types of gentle, hands-on physical therapy (Mulligan mobilization with or without the Niel Asher technique) for treating frozen shoulder. It aims to find which approach reduces pain and improves movement better.
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.
This study tests if specific exercises can help people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) move their shoulder better and feel less pain. It is for those who have not had shoulder surgery or other conditions like diabetes.
This trial tests if adding thoracic spine mobilization to standard shoulder mobilization reduces pain and improves movement and function in people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) at stages 2 or 3.
