Comparing two hand-on therapies for frozen shoulder
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two physical therapy techniques—Gongs mobilization and Maitland mobilization—to see which works better for relieving pain and improving movement in people with frozen shoulder. If you are between 40 and 65 and have had frozen shoulder for at least 3 months, this trial may help you find a treatment that works.

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 gentle shoulder movements (mobilizations) to treat frozen shoulder. The goal is to reduce pain and help you move your arm more easily.
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 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.
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 trial compares two manual therapy techniques to see which works better for people with frozen shoulder. It's for patients in the freezing stage who have limited motion and mild to moderate pain.
