ERMI Shoulder Flexionater outcomes for stiff, painful shoulders
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have either frozen shoulder symptoms for over a month (pain plus limited motion), OR ongoing stiffness after shoulder surgery, OR you had a past procedure to loosen adhesions or manipulate the joint.
- Frozen shoulder group: your arm rotates outward 30° or less with your arm at your side.
- Frozen shoulder group: your arm lifts forward no more than 130°.
- You must have had a cortisone shot for all participants.
- You should not have had any prior shoulder surgery (for the frozen shoulder group), and you cannot have shoulder infection, rheumatoid arthritis, or other causes of stiffness/pain like major structural injury or full-thickness rotator cuff tear.

This trial tests whether stretching the joint capsule or injecting a steroid works better for frozen shoulder. It could help people with shoulder pain and stiffness that limits movement.
This study compares two ways to treat early frozen shoulder (also called adhesive capsulitis): manual release by a therapist versus a home exercise program. It is for people who have had symptoms for 3 months or less and have not had shoulder surgery before.
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 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 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).
This study tests a therapy that uses energy and resistance to improve shoulder movement in people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). It may help reduce stiffness and increase your range of motion.
