Shock wave therapy for frozen shoulder
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether shock wave therapy can help relieve pain and improve movement in people with frozen shoulder. It is a non-drug treatment that uses sound waves to stimulate healing.

This study compares two non-surgical treatments—manual therapy (hands-on techniques) and radial shock wave therapy (sound wave pulses)—to see which works better for long-lasting shoulder pain. It may be a good fit if your pain is from a common cause called impingement syndrome.
This study tests whether adding shock wave therapy to standard treatments (physical therapy and a corticosteroid injection) helps people with frozen shoulder recover faster. If you have significant shoulder stiffness and pain, you might benefit from this extra treatment.
This study tests whether a short course of high-frequency shock wave therapy (sound waves applied to the shoulder) can help heal partial rotator cuff tears and reduce pain. It's a non-invasive treatment option that may avoid surgery.
This study compares two treatment approaches for scapular dyskinesis (abnormal shoulder blade movement): one group receives shock wave therapy along with standard exercises, while the other group does exercises alone. Researchers want to see if adding shock wave therapy helps improve shoulder blade function and reduces pain.
This trial tests if focused shockwave therapy can help people with long-term neck and shoulder pain caused by tight muscles in the upper back. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective for easing pain and improving daily activities.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive treatment called shock wave therapy can reduce pain and improve function in people with calcium deposits in the shoulder tendon. It uses sound waves to break up the deposits, which may relieve pain and help you move better.
