What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying the effects of focal vibration therapy on patients with adhesive capsulitis, a condition characterized by pain and limited shoulder movement. This research aims to understand how this therapy impacts pain, shoulder joint movement, muscle tone, and overall shoulder function, as no previous studies have explored the influence of focal vibration therapy on shoulder muscle tone in this condition. Participants will be assigned randomly to one of two groups. One group will receive focal vibration therapy using a device called Myovolt, which delivers gentle mechanical vibrations to specific shoulder muscles for about 20-25 minutes across three consecutive days. This therapy is combined with traditional training, including warm-up, mobilization, stretching, strengthening, and coordination exercises. The other group will receive only the traditional training and a home exercise program. During the study, participants will be assessed for changes in shoulder pain, range of motion, and function at 4 weeks and 6 weeks. Researchers will monitor pain levels, mobility of the shoulder joint, and muscle function to evaluate treatment effects. The total duration includes follow-up evaluations to track progress and safety under medical supervision throughout the trial period.
