Deltoid muscle exercises for frozen shoulder
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether exercises that strengthen the deltoid muscle (the muscle on the outside of your shoulder) help improve pain and movement in people with frozen shoulder. If you have this condition, these exercises might help you recover faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 60 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), specifically stage 2 or stage 3.
- You do not have a rotator cuff tear.
- You do not have arthritis in the shoulder joint itself (glenohumeral arthritis).

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 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 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.
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 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.
