Home-based electrical stimulation for frozen shoulder
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests if a home-use device that uses mild electrical pulses can help people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) move their shoulder better and feel less pain. It is designed to be used at home, making it convenient.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if a non-invasive device that stimulates nerves can help treat frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). If you are an adult with frozen shoulder and are in generally good health, you may be able to join to see if this device works.
This study tests a type of hands-on therapy (fascial treatment) to see if it improves shoulder movement and reduces pain from frozen shoulder. It may help you if you're in the target age range and haven't had recent physical therapy.
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 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 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 a treatment that uses special energy waves to help improve shoulder movement and reduce stiffness in people with frozen shoulder (a condition where the shoulder becomes painful and hard to move). The treatment may help you regain motion without surgery.
