What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate different treatment methods for patients with frozen shoulder, focusing on improving shoulder function, reducing pain, and increasing range of motion. The study compares the effects of three interventions: Shoulder Symptom Modification Procedure (SSMP), Mobilization With Movement (MWM), and sham mobilization to determine which provides the most effective results.
Participants are assigned to one of three treatment groups. The first group receives SSMP in the initial phase, followed by isometric exercises, eccentric exercises, heavy slow resistance training, and a functional program. The second group undergoes MWM first, then the same sequence of exercises and functional training. The third group receives sham mobilization before progressing through the same exercise and functional phases.
Throughout the study, participants will be assessed using the Shoulder Pain And Disability Index and Numeric Pain Rating Scale at multiple time points up to 8 weeks. These evaluations help track changes in pain, disability, and shoulder function. The total participant age range is 40 to 65 years, and the study includes monitoring to understand which intervention is most beneficial for managing frozen shoulder symptoms.
