Bowen's Technique in Patients With Adhesive Capsulitis

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Adhesive Capsulitis
• Interventions: Other: Bowen's technique; Other: Conventional physical therapy

• Registration Number: NCT04852939
• Lead Sponsor: Riphah International University

Brief Summary

This study will help the physiotherapists in overcoming the challenges and barriers in the treatment. It will also help researchers in acquiring sufficient knowledge for further research on the Bowen technique and its various applications as this technique is not widely applied in the field of physical therapy treatment.

Detailed Description

The application of the Bowen technique, producing significant results, will be opted in treatment for the better, improved, and innovative noninvasive management of Adhesive Capsulitis. This study will help the physiotherapists in overcoming the challenges and barriers in the treatment. It will also help researchers in acquiring sufficient knowledge for further research on the Bowen technique and its various applications as this technique is not widely applied in the field of physical therapy treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Goniometer	6th week	A goniometer is an instrument that either measures an angle or allows an object to be rotated to a precise angular position of joints. Intra-class Correlation Coefficients (ICC≥ 0.94)
Numeric Pain Rating Scale	6th week	Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) the Numerical Rating Scale (NPRS-11) is an 11-points scale for self-report of pain. It is the most commonly used unidimensional pain scale. Interclass correlation coefficient (ICC: 0.74)
Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI):	6th week	self-administered questionnaire that consists of two dimensions, one for pain and the other for functional activities. The SPADI takes 5 to 10 minutes for a patient to complete and is the only reliable and valid region-specific measure for the shoulder. Intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC ≥ 0.89)
