ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of a special physical therapy technique called the Spencer technique, combined with a procedure known as hydrodilation, on patients with adhesive capsulitis, often referred to as frozen shoulder. Adhesive capsulitis causes pain and limited movement in the shoulder due to tightness in the joint capsule. The Spencer technique helps improve shoulder mobility through targeted movements and stretches, while hydrodilation involves injecting a saltwater solution into the shoulder joint to help stretch and loosen the tight tissues.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be between 40 and 60 years old and have been diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis in one shoulder. They must have already undergone hydrodilation. However, individuals who have recently experienced a major shoulder injury or surgery, or have other conditions affecting their shoulder movement, will not be included. Participants can expect to engage in the Spencer technique as part of their treatment, which aims to alleviate pain and improve shoulder function, helping them regain their daily activities more easily.
