Bowen Technique Versus Dynamic Soft Tissue Mobilization on Pain, Range of Motion and Functional Disability in Patients With Adhesive Capsulitis 72 Randomized

Recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT07047846 is an interventional study for Adhesive Capsulitis that is recruiting. It started on 16 July 2025 with plans to enroll 72 participants. Led by University of Lahore, it is expected to complete by 3 January 2026. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 2 July 2025.
Brief Summary
A randomized controlled trial included 72 patients diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis will conduct in University of Lahore Teaching Hospital. The study will complete within 9 months after the approval of synopsis. Patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria will identified by individual physiotherapist and will enrolled for particular study. Informed written consent will be taken by the patients and will randomly a...Show More
Detailed Description
A randomized controlled trial will conduct at the UOL Teaching Hospital. Seventy-two diabetic patients aged 50-80 years with Grade 2 or 3 adhesive capsulitis will be divided into two groups at random: Bowen therapy will administered to Group A with routine physiotherapy, and Group B received DSTM with routine physiotherapy. Both interventions will delivered twice weekly for six weeks. Pain (VAS and SPADI Pain), ROM (...Show More

ExperimentalBowen technique with routine physical therapy
This group will receive bowen technique 3 moves with routine physical therapy including ROM exercises, stretching exercises, strengthening exercises and scapular stabilization exercises . This group will receive 12 sessions ( 3 sessions per week)
Bowen Technique and 3 moves
As the client sits, take a position across from the shoulder that needs attention. Hold the side you are working on by its forearm. Arrange the forearm so that it is horizontal at about chest level, keeping the elbow at a 90˚ angle and the shoulder apart from the trunk. Move 1: This is an anterior move that involves placing the fingers of the other hand over the midpoint of the triceps and posterior deltoid tendon, w...Show More
Active ComparatorDynamic soft tissue mobilization with routine physical therapy
This group will receive dynamic soft tissue mobilization with routine physical therapy including heat application , ROM exercises, stretching exercises, strengthening exercises and scapular stabilization exercises . This group will receive 12 sessions ( 3 sessions per week)
Dynamic Soft Tissue Mobilization
Begin with gentle heat application or light massage to warm up the tissue for 5 minutes. Assess the range of motion and identify specific areas of tightness and pain. - Use hands or specialized tools to apply sustained pressure to the fascia and underlying muscles, concentrating on the scapular, pectoral, deltoidal, and rotator cuff muscles. Apply specific DSTM techniques to the identified muscles, gradually increasi...Show More
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Change in Visual Analogue Scale score
Visual analogue scale will be used to assess shoulder pain. Score ranges from 0-10. 0 shows least pain and 10 shows worst pain
Change from preintervention to 6th weeks
Change in Universal Goniometer readings
Universal Goniometer will be used to assess shoulder range of motion.
Change from preintervention to 6th weeks
change in Shoulder pain and disability Index (SPADI)
The 13 items of the SPADI measure two domains: an 8-item subscale measuring disability and a 5-item subscale measuring pain. The SPADI is available in two variants. The first version uses a visual analogue scale (VAS) to evaluate each item, while the second version uses a numerical rating scale (NRS).
