This trial studies whether a vibration device applied to the shoulder can reduce pain and improve range of motion in people with frozen shoulder (also called adhesive capsulitis). If you fit the specific shoulder and symptom pattern, it may be an option to consider alongside standard care.
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 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 compares virtual reality training to standard exercise therapy for people with frozen shoulder. It aims to see if VR can be more effective in reducing pain and improving movement, offering a potentially more engaging treatment option.
This trial tests if virtual reality therapy can help people with long-term shoulder pain. If you have had shoulder pain for more than 3 months, you may be able to join.
