Niel-Asher technique for frozen shoulder recovery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a manual therapy method called the Niel-Asher technique for people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). It aims to improve shoulder movement and reduce pain. You may qualify if your frozen shoulder has been present for at least three months and you have tender spots in certain shoulder muscles.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 60 years old
- You have been diagnosed with frozen shoulder by a doctor
- Your shoulder pain and stiffness follow a typical pattern (more trouble turning your arm outward, then raising it sideways, then turning it inward)
- You are in the phase where symptoms have lasted 3 months or more (phase 2 or 3)
- You have tender knots (trigger points) in at least one of the muscles on top or back of your shoulder

This trial compares two manual therapy techniques to see which works better for people with frozen shoulder. It's for patients in the freezing stage who have limited motion and mild to moderate pain.
This trial tests whether a specific hands-on physical therapy technique called Gong's mobilization, with or without an additional method called Nielasher, can help restore movement and reduce pain in frozen shoulder. Frozen shoulder is a condition where the shoulder becomes stiff and painful, limiting your ability to move your arm.
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 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 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 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.
