Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of Gong's mobilization combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation versus conservative exercises in improving range of motion, pain relief, and functional outcomes in patients with adhesive capsulitis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Using a randomized controlled design with 36 participants with estimated drop out 10% will be 40, the study will measure changes in active and passive shoulder mobility and SPADI scores after 6 weeks.

Gong's Mobilization with NMES

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Gong's Mobilization with NMES

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Gong's Mobilization Technique: The participant will be positioned in a side-lying posture on a height-adjustable bed, with the affected side upward and the head supported by a pillow The therapist will apply an antero-posterior glide to the humeral head while stabilizing the scapula with the other hand. The participant will perform quick, powerful shoulder abduction in the coronal plane without external rotation or elbow flexion while the therapist maintains the mobilization force.

Comprehensive Conservative Physical Therapy

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Comprehensive Conservative Physical Therapy

Intervention Type COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Thermal Modality Application: Participants will receive either a cold or hot pack (based on individual preference and clinical presentation) applied to the affected shoulder for 10-15 minutes. Cold packs will be wrapped in a thin towel and applied to
