Brain-based therapy for frozen shoulder with diabetes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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 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 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 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 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 types of physical therapy—isometric strengthening exercises and TENS (a pain-relieving electrical stimulation)—to see which is better for reducing pain and improving movement in people with diabetes who have frozen shoulder. You may receive one of these treatments for several weeks.
