Brief Summary

Shoulder Adhesive Capsulitis, often referred to as "Frozen Shoulder," is a painful condition characterized by a significant loss of shoulder joint motion. Inflammation and thickening of the joint capsule lead to the formation of adhesions, restricting movement and causing discomfort. This condition typically progresses through three stages: freezing, frozen, and thawing. During the freezing and frozen stages, inflammation of the shoulder capsule is the primary cause of symptoms, resulting in pain, decreased range of motion, and impaired upper extremity function. Physiotherapeutic interventions are commonly employed to counter

these inflammatory changes and alleviate symptoms. Magnetotherapy is one such treatment,though its efficacy for shoulder adhesive capsulitis has been less extensively studied compared to its use for other shoulder conditions.This study aims to investigate the effect of Magneto therapy on pain, range of motion, and function in individuals with shoulder adhesive capsulitis. Participants will be recruited based on defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Following recruitment, participants will be randomly assigned to either Group 1 or Group 2 using a computer-generated randomization sequence. Group 1 participants will receive both magnetotherapy and conventional physiotherapy, while Group 2 participants will receive conventional physiotherapy only. Pre- and post-intervention assessments will be conducted to evaluate pain intensity using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale, shoulder range of motion using a universal goniometer, and shoulder function using the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index.Each physiotherapy session will last 45 minutes and will be conducted five times per week for two weeks. The Shapiro-Wilk test will be used to assess the normality of the data. If the data are normally distributed, paired t-tests will be used for within-group comparisons and independent t-tests will be used for between-group comparisons. If the data are not normally distributed, Wilcoxon signed-rank tests will be used for within-group comparisons, and the Kruskal-Wallis test will be used for between-group comparisons. This research aligns with a patient-centered approach, fostering a deeper understanding of the effect of Magneto therapy as a physiotherapeutic intervention for individuals with shoulder adhesive capsulitis.
