Shoulder Release Therapy for Frozen Shoulder Pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
