A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the impact of Mulligan mobilization techniques, both with and without the Niel Asher technique, on patients suffering from adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as frozen shoulder. It is a randomized controlled trial that will assess pain levels, range of motion, and disability in participants aged 40 to 60 years. Data will be collected using standardized measures such as the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI). The trial will take place at Ibne-Siena Hospital in Multan and a local physiotherapy clinic, utilizing non-probability convenience sampling for participant selection.
