Exercise for frozen shoulder
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if specific exercises can help people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) move their shoulder better and feel less pain. It is for those who have not had shoulder surgery or other conditions like diabetes.

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 tests specific exercises for the pectoralis minor (a small chest muscle) to see if they can reduce shoulder pain, improve shoulder blade movement, and increase chest expansion in people with frozen shoulder that is already starting to recover.
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.
This study compares two types of shoulder treatment for frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis): one group does only exercises, and the other group does exercises plus hands-on therapy (manual therapy). The goal is to see which approach helps more with pain and movement.
This trial tests if a special rehabilitation program helps people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). It aims to improve shoulder movement and reduce pain.
