Cross training for frozen shoulder recovery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests if adding cross-training exercises to standard physical therapy helps people with frozen shoulder move better and feel less pain. Cross-training means using the opposite arm to help the affected shoulder improve.

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 two different physical therapy treatments — one focuses on moving the shoulder blade (scapula) and the other on stretching the tight shoulder capsule — to see which is better for reducing pain and improving movement in frozen shoulder. It may help you find a more effective way to recover without surgery.
This study tests a wearable robot arm that helps move your shoulder for you during exercises. The goal is to see if using this robot improves shoulder movement and reduces stiffness better than standard physical therapy alone.
This trial tests a new shoulder exercise method for frozen shoulder. If you are between 40–65 years old and have been diagnosed with frozen shoulder, you may be able to join.
This study compares three treatments for frozen shoulder: high-intensity laser therapy, steroid injection, and manual therapy. It aims to find which approach works best for reducing pain and improving movement in people with this condition.
This study compares two hands-on physical therapy techniques (Spencer's and Mulligan's) to see which works better for relieving pain and improving movement in stage II frozen shoulder. If you join, you'll receive one of these treatments and help doctors learn which approach helps patients like you recover faster.
