Vagus nerve stimulation for frozen shoulder treatment
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests if stimulating the vagus nerve can help treat frozen shoulder. It might be an option if you have had shoulder pain and stiffness for at least 3 months and have not received prior treatment for this shoulder problem.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 65 years old.
- Your shoulder pain has lasted at least 3 months and limits daily activities.
- Your shoulder movement is significantly less than your other shoulder in at least one direction (like rotating outward, lifting your arm, or bending).
- You have not had any prior treatment for this shoulder problem, such as physical therapy, injections, or surgery.
- Your shoulder pain is at least a 3 on a 0-to-10 pain scale.

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 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 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 compares two treatments for frozen shoulder: a corticosteroid injection into the shoulder joint and a nerve block (injection near the shoulder nerve) to reduce pain and improve movement. It aims to find which approach works better for people with frozen shoulder.
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 trial tests whether stimulating the vagus nerve can improve arm movement, breathing, and quality of life in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It involves a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the neck during therapy sessions.
