Conditions
Frozen shoulder also known as adhesive capsulitis (AC) is an inflammatory condition of the glenohumeral joint where there is gradual progressive stiffness, loss of external rotation with restriction of movement and pain.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Shoulder Pain. Timepoint: 3 timepoints including baseline, after 2nd week and 4th week. Method of measurement: Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) to measure pain.;Shoulder Range of Motion (Flexion, Lateral rotation, Medial rotation and Abduction) will be measured by means of universal goniometer. Timepoint: 3 timepoints including baseline, after 2nd week and 4th week. Method of measurement: Goniometer is used to measure the ROM.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Shoulder Functional Disability. Timepoint: 3 timepoints including baseline, after 2nd week and 4th week. Method of measurement: Shoulder Pain and Disability Index Scale (SPADI) is used to measure shoulder pain and disability.
