Gongs Mobilization and Stretching for Frozen Shoulder
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 40 and 60 years old
- You have been diagnosed with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) affecting one shoulder only
- Your shoulder is in the 'frozen stage'—meaning you have significant stiffness with gradual pain reduction and loss of movement
- You have lost more than 25% of normal shoulder rotation in at least two directions, and more than 50% loss specifically in external rotation (moving your arm outward)
- You have not had surgery on the affected shoulder
- You do not have cervical (neck) or thoracic (mid-back) problems, rheumatoid arthritis, or recent fractures near the shoulder

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.
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 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 compares two types of physical therapy exercises to see which one reduces pain and improves movement in people with frozen shoulder. It aims to help you move your shoulder more easily and feel less discomfort.
This study compares two physical therapy techniques—nerve gliding and stretching the shoulder joint capsule—to see which works better for reducing pain and improving movement in people with frozen shoulder. If you have this condition, the treatment may help you regain motion and ease discomfort.
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.
