The Combined Effect of Mulligan Technique and Scapular Mobilization in Shoulder Adhesive Capsulitis 38 Randomized Exercise-Based
Clinical Trial NCT07356947 is an interventional study for Adhesive Capsulitis of Shoulder, Frozen Shoulder, Shoulder Pain and Stiffness and is currently not yet recruiting. Enrollment is planned to begin on February 1, 2026 and continue until the study accrues 38 participants. Led by Deraya University, this study is expected to complete by August 1, 2027. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on January 28, 2026.
Brief Summary
The shoulder joint capsule is a fibrous sheath that encloses and stabilizes the structures of the shoulder joint, extending from the anatomical neck of the humerus to the rim of the glenoid fossa. It is normally lax, allowing a wide range of motion. Shoulder adhesive capsulitis, or frozen shoulder, is a common musculoskeletal condition characterized by pain and restricted movement due to thickening and contraction of...Show More
Detailed Description
The shoulder joint capsule is a fibrous structure that surrounds the shoulder joint and connects the anatomical neck of the humerus to the rim of the glenoid fossa. It provides stability to the joint while allowing extensive mobility. In adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, the capsule becomes inflamed, thickened, and contracted, leading to pain, stiffness, and a progressive loss of both active and pas...Show More

Primary Outcome Measures
| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
Change in Shoulder Range of Motion (Flexion, Internal Rotation, External Rotation, and Abduction) | Shoulder joint range of motion (flexion, internal rotation, external rotation, and abduction) will be assessed using a digital goniometer. Each movement will be measured three times, and the mean value will be used for analysis. | Baseline and at 4 weeks post-intervention |
Change in Shoulder Pain and Disability (SPADI Score) | Pain and functional disability will be assessed using the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI). The SPADI includes 13 items: a 5-item pain subscale and an 8-item disability subscale. Each item is scored on a 0-10 scale, with higher scores indicating greater pain and disability. | Baseline and at 4 weeks post-intervention |
Change in Scapulohumeral Rhythm | Scapulohumeral rhythm will be evaluated using a tape measurement method during shoulder elevation to assess the coordination between scapular and humeral motion. | Baseline and at 4 weeks post-intervention |
