Menopause, blood sugar, and frozen shoulder in women
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how menopause and blood sugar levels might be linked to frozen shoulder in women. It has two parts: one for any woman who has had frozen shoulder, and another for women aged 40-60 who are near menopause and either have or don't have frozen shoulder.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman over 18
- You have been diagnosed with frozen shoulder by a doctor
- If you are between 40 and 60, you are perimenopausal (or a matched control without frozen shoulder)
- You do not have diabetes or thyroid problems
- You are not taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or other medications that affect hormones or metabolism

This study tests a special therapy that uses energy to warm deep tissues in the shoulder, which may help relieve pain and improve movement for menopausal women with frozen shoulder. It is designed for women who have had natural menopause and have not had surgery on that shoulder.
This study tests whether teaching your brain about pain and doing special mental exercises, along with regular physical therapy, can improve shoulder movement and reduce pain in people with both frozen shoulder and type 2 diabetes.
This study compares two non-surgical treatments—low-level laser therapy and muscle energy techniques—to see which is better at improving shoulder movement and reducing pain in people with diabetes and frozen shoulder.
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 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.
