Summary

This study will compare the effectiveness of the Spencer Technique combined with intra-articular injection versus conventional therapy combined with intra-articular injection in managing frozen shoulder. The research problem addresses the need for optimal therapeutic approaches to improve pain relief, range of motion, and functional recovery in patients with frozen shoulder.

Detailed description

Utilizing a randomized controlled trial, the study will recruit 100 participants, divided into two groups: Group A receiving the Spencer Technique with intra-articular injection and Group B receiving conventional therapy with intra-articular injection. Outcome measures will include pain levels, range of motion, shoulder functional status and patient satisfaction, assessed through validated tools. The significance of this study lies in its potential to provide robust comparative data to guide clinical decisions and enhance patient outcomes, particularly in populations with a high prevalence of diabetes

Conditions

• Frozen Shoulder

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Conventional Treatment(CI)	Patients receive a corticosteroid injection followed by conventional treatment, such as standard physical therapy exercises focused on range of motion and strengthening, without the specific manual techniques of the Spencer method.
COMBINATION_PRODUCT	Spencer Technique (CI)	Patients receive a corticosteroid injection followed by the Spencer technique, which involves a series of specific manual mobilization maneuvers aimed at improving shoulder mobility and reducing pain.
