Energy and resistance therapy for shoulder stiffness
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a therapy that uses energy and resistance to improve shoulder movement in people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). It may help reduce stiffness and increase your range of motion.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 40 and 65 years old.
- You must have had shoulder pain or stiffness for at least 3 months.
- Your shoulder movement must be limited in at least two directions (e.g., raising your arm, rotating it).
- You must not have stiffness or pain in both shoulders.
- You must not have certain medical conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, heart disease, infections, blood clotting disorders, full rotator cuff tear, recent shoulder surgery, nerve problems in your arm, shoulder osteoarthritis, or a recent fracture in your arm or shoulder.

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.
This study tests if specific exercises can help people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) move their shoulder better and feel less pain. It is for those who have not had shoulder surgery or other conditions like diabetes.
This trial tests a manual therapy technique for people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). It aims to see if treating the fascia—the connective tissue around muscles—can improve shoulder movement and reduce pain.
This study tests two physical therapy techniques—nerve gliding exercises and gentle stretching of the shoulder capsule—to see which works better for people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). The goal is to improve pain and range of motion without surgery.
This study tests a therapy that uses radiofrequency energy to treat frozen shoulder in postmenopausal women. It may help reduce pain and improve shoulder movement.
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called TECAR therapy for people with chronic shoulder tendonitis (supraspinatus tendinitis). It uses energy to help reduce pain and improve healing. You may qualify if you have had shoulder pain for at least a month and are not able to have surgery.
