Muscle Technique for Pain in Diabetic Stiff Shoulder
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle muscle technique (called Spencer's method) to see if it reduces pain and improves movement in women with diabetic stiff shoulder. It may be a good option if you have had stiffness for a few months and are not taking other treatments.
