Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study evaluates the effectiveness of Gong's mobilization combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation versus conservative exercises in improving range of motion, pain relief, and functional outcomes in patients with adhesive capsulitis.
Detailed Description
Using a randomized controlled design with 36 participants with estimated drop out 10% will be 40, the study will measure changes in active and passive shoulder mobility and SPADI scores after 6 weeks.

Intervention: Comprehensive Conservative Physical Therapy (Combination Product)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Visual Analog Scale (VAS
Time Frame: 12 Months
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is one of the pain rating scales. Pain intensity can be categorized based on VAS scores, with mild pain typically ranging from 1-3, moderate pain from 4-6, and severe pain from 7-10.
Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI)
Time Frame: 12 Months
The SPADI will be used to assess pain and disability. The pain subscale will measure the severity of pain during specific activities using a 0-10 numeric rating scale. The disability subscale will evaluate the difficulty experienced in performing daily activities involving the shoulder. SPADI scores will be recorded at the start of the treatment and again after completing the six treatment sessions to compare the changes in pain and functional status
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
