"Randomized control trial is our study design, we will make 2 groups group A ( 15 patients of frozen shoulder) and Group B (15 patients of frozen shoulder). we will apply interventions by this way For group A KT (kinesiology taping) will be applied on frozen shoulder patients by a professional physiotherapist or certified physiotherapist according to their pain pattern in muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, deltoid, subscapularis) with conventional physiotherapy of frozen shoulder also continues on 15 patients (group A). KT will apply twice a week for 8 weeks. We can check the results of our intervention every week by using variable tools or outcome measures, measuring pain by VAD (visual analog scale) and quality of life in the frozen shoulder by SPADI (shoulder pain and disability index) every week.

Vitamin B12, a vital nutrient, plays a crucial role in red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA synthesis. Deficiency in B12 can lead to anemia, neurological symptoms such as tingling or numbness, and cognitive impairment.

Effects of Ayres Sensory Integration Therapy Versus Conservative Treatment in Autism Spectrum
Recurrent Streptococcus pyogenes pharyngotonsillitis infection in children presents a significant health concern, characterized by frequent episodes of sore throat, fever, and swollen tonsils. These recurrent infections can lead to missed school days, discomfort, and potential complications if left untreated. Current treatment typically involves antibiotics to eradicate the bacterial infection. However, drawbacks exist with this approach, including the risk of antibiotic resistance, disruption of the gut microbiota, and potential adverse effects such as gastrointestinal upset or allergic reactions. Moreover, antibiotics do not prevent future episodes and may contribute to recurrent infections by disrupting the balance of the throat microbiome. Therefore, there is a growing interest in alternative approaches such as probiotics, which aim to support the body's natural defenses and restore microbial balance in the throat and oral cavity.
