Comparing two hand-on treatments for frozen shoulder
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two gentle hand-on techniques (Gong’s and Mulligan mobilization) to see which one works better for people with frozen shoulder. If you are 40–50 years old and your shoulder is in the stiff, hard-to-move phase, this trial may be able to help you improve movement and reduce pain.
