Researchers are evaluating different treatment approaches for patients with frozen shoulder, aiming to improve shoulder function, reduce pain, and increase range of motion. The study compares the effects of Shoulder Symptom Modification Procedure (SSMP), Mobilization With Movement (MWM), and sham mobilization to determine which provides the most effective results. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups: one receiving SSMP followed by a series of exercises including isometric, eccentric, heavy slow resistance, and functional programs; another receiving MWM followed by the same exercise progression; and a third receiving sham mobilization as a placebo followed by the same exercise routine. The study timeline includes evaluation up to 8 weeks with various outcome measures. During the study, participants will be assessed using the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index and Numeric Pain Rating Scale at enrollment and weeks 4, 6, and 8. Additional measurements include range of motion at these weeks and a Patient's Global Impression of Change scale at enrollment and week 8. The study involves scheduled exercises and monitoring to track progress and response to the interventions.
