Résumé succinct
This study compares three common treatments for frozen shoulder when added to a standard exercise program: High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT), a corticosteroid (steroid) injection into the shoulder joint, and hands-on manual therapy by a physical therapist. A fourth group will receive only the standard exercise program. The goal is to see which combination works best to reduce shoulder pain and improve shoulder func...Afficher plus

ExpérimentalHILT + Standard Exercise
Participants receive High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) 2 times/week for 6 weeks, plus the Standard Exercise Program.
High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT)
Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) applied to anterior, lateral, posterior glenohumeral joint aspects. Three-phase protocol per session: (1) 10 J/cm² @ 10 Hz; (2) 12 J/cm² @ 2000 Hz; (3) 10 J/cm² @ 15 Hz. Total energy \~1200 J/session. Frequency: 2 sessions/week for 6 weeks (12 sessions total). Delivered by trained PTs.
Standard Exercise Program
Standardized program including pendulum exercises, active-assisted range of motion exercises (e.g., wand, wall climbs), stretching (e.g., cross-body, sleeper stretch), and progressive resistive exercises using resistance bands. Includes supervised instruction/progression and a daily home exercise program component. Supervised instruction frequency: 2 sessions/week for first 6 weeks, then 1 session/week for next 6 wee...Afficher plus
Comparateur actifCorticosteroid Injection + Standard Exercise
Participants receive a single ultrasound-guided intra-articular corticosteroid injection at baseline, plus the Standard Exercise Program.
Ultrasound-Guided Intra-articular Corticosteroid Injection
Single injection into the glenohumeral joint under ultrasound guidance. Consists of 40 mg methylprednisolone acetate combined with 4 ml of 1% lidocaine hydrochloride. Delivered at baseline by an experienced orthopedic physician.
Standard Exercise Program
Standardized program including pendulum exercises, active-assisted range of motion exercises (e.g., wand, wall climbs), stretching (e.g., cross-body, sleeper stretch), and progressive resistive exercises using resistance bands. Includes supervised instruction/progression and a daily home exercise program component. Supervised instruction frequency: 2 sessions/week for first 6 weeks, then 1 session/week for next 6 wee...Afficher plus
Comparateur actifManual Therapy + Standard Exercise
Participants receive manual therapy 2 times/week for 6 weeks, plus the Standard Exercise Program.
Thérapie manuelle
Skilled hands-on techniques including glenohumeral joint mobilizations (Maitland grades III-IV), posterior capsule stretching, scapular mobilization, and soft tissue techniques targeting restricted tissues. Session duration: \~30 minutes. Frequency: 2 sessions/week for 6 weeks (12 sessions total). Delivered by PTs specialized in manual therapy.
Standard Exercise Program
Standardized program including pendulum exercises, active-assisted range of motion exercises (e.g., wand, wall climbs), stretching (e.g., cross-body, sleeper stretch), and progressive resistive exercises using resistance bands. Includes supervised instruction/progression and a daily home exercise program component. Supervised instruction frequency: 2 sessions/week for first 6 weeks, then 1 session/week for next 6 wee...Afficher plus
Comparateur actifStandard Exercise Alone
Participants receive the Standard Exercise Program only.
Standard Exercise Program
Standardized program including pendulum exercises, active-assisted range of motion exercises (e.g., wand, wall climbs), stretching (e.g., cross-body, sleeper stretch), and progressive resistive exercises using resistance bands. Includes supervised instruction/progression and a daily home exercise program component.

Critère principal d'évaluation
Critères d'évaluationDescription de la mesurePériode
Change in Shoulder Pain Intensity
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for Pain. Change from baseline in average shoulder pain over the past week, measured on a 10 cm horizontal VAS, where 0 cm = no pain and 10 cm = worst imaginable pain. Lower scores indicate less pain. MCID estimated at 1.4 cm.
Baseline (T0), 6 weeks (T1), 12 weeks (T2), 6 months (T3)
Change in Shoulder Pain and Disability
Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI). Change from baseline in the total SPADI score. SPADI consists of 13 items assessing pain (5 items) and disability (8 items). Total score ranges from 0-100, with lower scores indicating less pain and disability.
Baseline (T0), 6 weeks (T1), 12 weeks (T2), 6 months (T3)
Critère secondaire d'évaluation
Critères d'évaluationDescription de la mesurePériode
Change in Passive Shoulder Range of Motion (ROM)
Change from baseline in passive shoulder ROM measured in degrees for: External Rotation (at side), Abduction (in scapular plane), Flexion, and Internal Rotation (vertebral level reached). Measured using a standard goniometer.
Baseline (T0), 6 weeks (T1), 12 weeks (T2), 6 months (T3)
Patient Global Rating of Change
Global Rating of Change (GRC) Scale. Patient's self-rated overall change in their shoulder condition since starting the study, measured on a Likert scale (e.g., 7-point scale from "very much worse" to "very much improved"). Assessed relative to baseline.
6 weeks (T1), 12 weeks (T2), 6 months (T3)
Incidence of Adverse Events
Number, type, and severity of any adverse events (AEs) reported by participants or observed by study staff throughout the study duration, categorized by potential relationship to the assigned intervention (e.g., post-injection flare, skin reaction to HILT, increased pain after manual therapy/exercise).
Throughout study participation (up to 6 months)

Tous

Age between 40 and 70 years, inclusive. Clinical diagnosis of primary (idiopathic) frozen shoulder, defined by shoulder pain and ≥50% restriction in passive external rotation compared to the contralateral (unaffected) shoulder.

Symptom duration between 3 and 9 months. Average shoulder pain intensity ≥ 4 on a 10-cm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) over the past week.

Normal or age-appropriate radiographic findings of the glenohumeral joint (ruling out significant arthritis, fractures, calcific tendinitis).

Willingness and ability to attend scheduled treatment/assessment sessions. Ability to understand study procedures and provide written informed consent.

Secondary frozen shoulder (e.g., post-traumatic, post-surgical, related to systemic disease like diabetes - clarify if diabetes is excluded or just secondary FS from diabetes).

Clinical or imaging evidence of significant rotator cuff tear requiring specific management.

Radiographic evidence of moderate to severe glenohumeral osteoarthritis (e.g., Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≥ 3).

Previous surgery on the index shoulder. Significant neurological disorders affecting shoulder or upper extremity function (e.g., cervical radiculopathy, stroke).

Received a corticosteroid injection in the index shoulder within the past 3 months.

Known contraindications to corticosteroid injections (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, allergy, local infection).

Known contraindications to High-Intensity Laser Therapy (e.g., active malignancy in the treatment area, photosensitivity, pacemaker over treatment area).

Current participation in another interventional clinical trial for shoulder pain.
