ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two different physical therapy techniques to help treat frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis. Frozen shoulder can cause pain and make it hard to move your arm. The trial will compare the effectiveness of Kaltenborn Translatoric Glides and Traction Mobilization to see which method works better for relieving pain and improving movement in the shoulder.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 40 and 65 years old and have been experiencing shoulder pain for more than three months without any specific cause like injury or disease. If you qualify and decide to join, you will receive one of the two treatment techniques during the trial. This research aims to find out which treatment might be more beneficial, which could help many people suffering from frozen shoulder in the future.
