Effect of 3-Dimensional Shoulder Complex Pain Alignment (3-D SPA) Mobilization on Frozen Shoulder

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the impact of a three-dimensional mobilization technique called 3-Dimensional Shoulder Complex Pain Alignment (3-D SPA) on improving shoulder mobility in patients with frozen shoulder. This condition involves inflammation, stiffness, and pain that limit movement and daily activities, especially in women aged 35 to 65 years. The study aims to reduce pain, muscle tightness, and improve range of motion by addressing restrictions in all three planes of shoulder movement. The trial compares two groups of 36 participants each. One group receives the 3-D SPA mobilization combined with conventional therapy and a home exercise plan, while the other group receives Kaltenborn shoulder mobilization with conventional therapy and home exercises. Both groups undergo treatment sessions three times per week for three weeks, including 5 minutes of mobilization and 30 minutes of exercises per session. Ultrasound therapy is also applied continuously during each session. Participants will be assessed before and after the three-week treatment period using various measures such as the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index, range of motion in different shoulder movements, Visual Analogue Scale for pain, WHO Quality of Life questionnaire, and Apley's Scratch Test. Data will be analyzed to determine the effectiveness of the 3-D SPA technique in improving pain, disability, and shoulder function. The study includes safety monitoring and follow-up evaluations during and after treatment.
