Study Overview
Brief Summary
Adhesive capsulitis is a common musculoskeletal disorder characterized by shoulder pain, restricted range of motion (ROM), and functional disability, leading to limitations in daily activities and reduced quality of life. Manual therapy techniques, including Gong's Mobilization and Maitland Mobilization, are widely used in physiotherapy management; however, evidence comparing their effectiveness remains limited.
Detailed Description
The study aim to compare the effects of Gong's Mobilization and Maitland Mobilization on pain, shoulder range of motion, and functional disability in patients with adhesive capsulitis. A randomized clinical trial will be conducted on 60 participants diagnosed with stage II and III adhesive capsulitis. Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups: Gong's Mobilization and Maitland Mobilization. Both groups also received conventional physiotherapy, including hot pack application, stretching, isometric exercises, and a home exercise program. Outcome measures includes the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), and shoulder ROM assessed using a goniometer. Assessments will be performed at baseline, Week 3, and Week 6. Data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U and Friedman tests with a significance level of p ≤ 0.05.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
Time Frame: upto 6 weeks
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) was a widely used tool designed to assess pain intensity in both clinical and research settings. It consisted of an 11-point scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 represented "no pain" and 10 indicated the "worst imaginable pain."
Secondary Outcomes
- Goniometer(upto 6 weeks)
- Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI)(upto 6 weeks)
