This study tests a wearable robot arm that helps move your shoulder for you during exercises. The goal is to see if using this robot improves shoulder movement and reduces stiffness better than standard physical therapy alone.
This trial tests whether adding a gentle nerve stimulation device to standard physical therapy helps people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) recover better. The stimulation is applied to the ear and is designed to be safe and non-invasive.
This study tests whether specific exercises help reduce pain and improve movement in people with frozen shoulder. If you join, you'll do guided exercises and might see better shoulder function.
This study tests whether a combination of gentle joint movement techniques, pain education, and core-strengthening exercises can help people with frozen shoulder move better and feel less pain. It may be a good fit if you have been diagnosed with frozen shoulder and are looking for a drug-free treatment option.
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 compares two physical therapy techniques—nerve gliding and stretching the shoulder joint capsule—to see which works better for reducing pain and improving movement in people with frozen shoulder. If you have this condition, the treatment may help you regain motion and ease discomfort.
