Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Etiologically there are idiopathic and external factors that cause disorders such as osteoarthritis, chronic subacromial bursitis, or rotator cuff tendinopathy. Likewise, trauma is involved in a secondary way as well as diseases such as Parkinson's, diabetes, thyroid disorders among others. These clinical factors present two types of diagnosis: primary idiopathic stiff shoulder and extrinsic stiff shoulder secondary to trauma or surgery.
Among the physiotherapeutic treatments provided are joint mobilizations, therapeutic exercises, deep Cyriax massage, osteopathic techniques, cryotherapy (inflammatory phase), thermotherapy (chronic phase), electrotherapy for pain and ultrasound.
From the economic point of view, it presents from 2 to 5% of the medical incapacities in the working population, being this disease one of the first 20 sick leaves that reaches up to 12 months, generating high public hospital expenses and difficulties for the business area. Due to the above, many patients enter the operating room as a quick option to return to normality. However, this option does not seem to be the best for this disease, since the hypomobility of the movement increases gradually and chronically, caused by the fibrotic processes in the anterior face of the capsule, generating long-term inability for the external rotation of the joint.
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of Percutaneous Neuromodulation together with Orthopaedic Manual Therapy (Maitland and Mulligan) compared to Orthopaedic Manual Therapy (Maitland and Mulligan) used in the stiff shoulder.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group 1
15 patients in the experimental group of percutaneous neuromodulation together with orthopaedic manual therapy (Maitland and Mulligan)
First data analysis
A series of questions were asked to a number of patients with diagnoses related to primary idiopathic stiff shoulder and/or extrinsic stiff shoulder secondary to trauma or surgery. These patients are part of the physiotherapy clinic receiving the research. This questionnaire answers basic questions for the structure of the study such as age and sex, physical behaviour during the week, endurance, athletic disability, reason for attending the clinic, exploratory motor tests, etc. Subsequently, physiotherapeutic tests related to the pathology within the research were performed consisting of joint range, percentage of shoulder disability and pain scale.
Second data analysis
Three treatment sessions of Percutaneous Neuromodulation (PNM) and Orthopaedic Manual Therapy (OMT) (Maitland and Mulligan) (group 1) and three treatment sessions of Orthopaedic Manual Therapy (OMT) (Maitland and Mulligan) (group 2) were performed at a rate of two sessions per month for three months. These therapies were compared with the clinical examination performed prior to each new session to verify changes in joint range, percentage of shoulder disability, strength and pain scale.
database
Age and sex were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD). The rest of the variables were expressed as mean, absolute and relative frequency. The chi-square test was used to analyse the differences between the examinations in terms of the time taken and the treatments used in the two groups. A confidence level of 95% was established, considering a value of p\<0.05 as statistically significant.
