Gentle Shoulder Stretches for Frozen Shoulder Treatment
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 65 years old.
- You have had shoulder pain for more than 3 months.
- Your frozen shoulder has no known cause (like an infection or inflammatory condition).
- You have limited shoulder movement in a specific pattern called 'capsular pattern'.
- You do not have other shoulder issues such as fractures, dislocations, or rotator cuff injuries.
- You have not had shoulder surgery or a recent shoulder injury, and you do not have neurological, rheumatologic, or thyroid conditions.

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 two hands-on treatment techniques—gongs mobilization and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (a type of guided stretching)—to help reduce stiffness and improve movement in frozen shoulder. Frozen shoulder causes pain and loss of motion in the shoulder joint; this trial aims to see if these treatments can help restore function.
This study tests two physical therapy techniques—nerve gliding exercises and gentle stretching of the shoulder capsule—to see which works better for people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). The goal is to improve pain and range of motion without surgery.
This study compares two types of gentle shoulder movements (mobilizations) to treat frozen shoulder. The goal is to reduce pain and help you move your arm more easily.
This study compares two gentle physical therapy techniques (Spencer and Reverse Distraction) to see which better improves mobility in people with frozen shoulder. The goal is to help you regain more pain-free movement in your daily activities.
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.
