Gong's mobilization with scapular lift for frozen shoulder
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests two types of physical therapy for frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) to see which better improves shoulder movement and function. One therapy includes a special lift of the shoulder blade (scapular high lift), and the other does not.
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 (also called adhesive capsulitis) in only one shoulder.
- Your frozen shoulder is in the second or third stage (the painful and stiff stages).
- You do not have any past injury, tumor, fracture, surgery, or infection in that shoulder.
- You are not pregnant and have no history of nerve problems like stroke with paralysis, a pinched nerve in the neck, or brachial plexus injury.

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 two hands-on treatment techniques—gongs mobilization and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (a type of guided stretching)—to help reduce stiffness and improve movement in frozen shoulder. Frozen shoulder causes pain and loss of motion in the shoulder joint; this trial aims to see if these treatments can help restore function.
This study compares two types of gentle shoulder movements (mobilizations) to treat frozen shoulder. The goal is to reduce pain and help you move your arm more easily.
This study compares two types of physical therapy for frozen shoulder (a condition where the shoulder becomes stiff and painful). It looks at whether adding a specific massage technique to a standard joint exercise gives better results than the exercise alone.
This trial tests if adding thoracic spine mobilization to standard shoulder mobilization reduces pain and improves movement and function in people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) at stages 2 or 3.
This study tests whether adding gentle back and neck movements to standard physical therapy helps improve shoulder pain and movement in people with frozen shoulder. The goal is to see if these extra moves make recovery faster or more complete.
