简要总结
Stage II frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is associated with pain, stiffness, restricted shoulder range of motion, and reduced quality of life. This randomized controlled trial will compare Spencer's Muscle Energy Technique with Mulligan's Mobilization with Movement in adults with Stage II idiopathic frozen shoulder. Seventy-two participants will be randomized to two groups of 36. Both groups will receive their allocated manual therapy together with conventional physiotherapy for four weeks, three sessions per week. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and after the 4-week intervention using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, goniometric shoulder range of motion, and the SF-36 questionnaire.
详细描述
The study is a two-arm, assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial. Eligible male and female participants aged 30 to 55 years with Stage II idiopathic frozen shoulder and pain for at least three months will be recruited from Ibn e Sina Hospital and Research Institute and City Hospital in Multan, Pakistan. Participants will be selected using non-probability convenience sampling and then randomized by chit-and-lottery method. Group A will receive Spencer's Muscle Energy Technique with conventional physiotherapy. Group B will receive Mulligan's Mobilization with Movement with conventional physiotherapy. The confirmed treatment schedule is three sessions per week for four weeks. Pain, shoulder range of motion, and health-related quality of life will be assessed at baseline and after the intervention.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain Intensity Assessed by Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
时间窗: Baseline and immediately after the 4-week intervention
Pain intensity will be assessed using the 11-point Numeric Pain Rating Scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).
Shoulder Range of Motion Assessed by Goniometer
时间窗: Baseline and immediately after the 4-week intervention
Shoulder flexion, abduction, and external rotation will be measured in degrees using a goniometer.
Health-Related Quality of Life Assessed by SF-36
时间窗: Baseline and immediately after the 4-week intervention
Health-related quality of life will be assessed using the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). Domain scores are transformed to a 0 to 100 scale, with higher scores indicating better health status.
