• Conditions: Adhesive Capsulitis, Shoulder

• Registration Number: NCT06757933
• Lead Sponsor: Superior University

Brief Summary

This study examines the efficacy of two forms of therapy for Adhesive Capsulitis, a condition characterized by stiffness, pain, and limited mobility in the shoulder joint. It is also commonly known as "Frozen Shoulder".

Detailed Description

Patients between the ages of 30 and 55 were randomly assigned to one of two groups for the trial held at the Saleem Free Hospital Okara and Dar-ul-Shifa Hospital. Group 2 engaged in isotonic exercises that emphasized concentric and eccentric motions of forward flexion and extension, whereas Group 1 was given the Spencer approach, which involved seven different movements. A goniometer and the Numeric Pain Rating Scale were used to measure the range of motion and pain. SPSS 20 was used to analyze the data and assess how well the treatments worked. The findings provided light on how well manual therapy and exercise compare in terms of reducing pain and increasing shoulder movement in people with adhesive capsulitis.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale	12 Months	(NPRS) was used to measure the subjects' level of pain. This scale helps measure the amount of pain alleviation attained with each intervention by allowing participants to rank their discomfort from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain).
goniometer	12 Months	A goniometer, which measures the angle of joint movement, was used to measure the shoulder's range of motion (ROM). Improvements in shoulder mobility, which is frequently limited in adhesive capsulitis, were assessed with the aid of this assessment.
