Nunchaku exercise for frozen shoulder relief
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether practicing Nunchaku (a traditional martial arts tool) can help people with frozen shoulder, particularly those in the thawing stage. It aims to improve shoulder movement and reduce pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are of Chinese ethnicity.
- You are 45 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with frozen shoulder and are currently in the thawing stage (the phase where stiffness slowly decreases).
- Your shoulder stiffness is not caused by a recent injury, surgery, or a severe tear in the rotator cuff.
- You have not had a corticosteroid shot in the past 3 months or other shoulder treatments like surgery or intensive physiotherapy in the past 6 months.
- You can walk without a cane or walker and are able to do safe exercise.

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 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 if specific exercises can help people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) move their shoulder better and feel less pain. It is for those who have not had shoulder surgery or other conditions like diabetes.
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, 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 tests two physical therapy techniques—nerve gliding exercises and gentle stretching of the shoulder capsule—to see which works better for people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). The goal is to improve pain and range of motion without surgery.
