Frozen shoulder is a common condition affecting approximately 9% of people aged 25-64 years. During the early phase the pain is usually unbearable and the later restriction in movement is severely limiting. It occurs when the flexible tissue (capsule) that surrounds the shoulder joint becomes inflamed, thickened and tight. The pain can be very severe and lasts 3-9 months, followed by a 4-12 month period of increasing stiffness, after which the condition usually improves. Frozen shoulder often affects a person's ability to sleep, carry out everyday activities, and work. Current treatments include rest, painkillers, anti-inflammatories, physiotherapy and steroid injections. If stiffness persists, surgery is sometimes recommended. However, there is no evidence that any of these treatments lead to significant benefit in the long term, with many being ineffective. The aim of this study is to find out if it is possible to run a larger trial to test whether an injection of adalimumab can reduce pain and prevent the disease from getting worse, if given during the early painful phase of frozen shoulder. The investigators need to conduct this smaller study first to be sure it's possible to identify and treat people with early stage frozen shoulder, before they conduct a much larger trial to find out if this treatment works. In this study the investigators will include 84 adults from 5 sites with painful early stage frozen shoulder who have not yet received treatment. People will be randomised to receive either an injection of the drug adalimumab or a dummy injection of saline (placebo) directly into the shoulder joint, both guided by ultrasound. All participants will also receive standardized advice on how to manage their shoulder pain. The investigators will assess participants before treatment and three months later. Adalimumab has been used very successfully to treat other inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. This study has been funded by the NIHR RfPB programme and 180 Life Sciences.
This is a 2-arm parallel pragmatic randomized controlled trial that will compare pharmacopuncture therapy with physical therapy for adhesive capsulitis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the 12-week ViFive program, a vision-based artificial intelligent digital care plan for chronic knee pain. ViFive digital care plan is delivered by a physical therapy team consisting of physical therapists and a personal coach. We aim to understand the safety and efficacy of this vision artificial intelligent based home exercise program.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of muscle energy technique on adhesive capsulitis post mastectomy.

We hypothesize that focal vibration therapy will reduce pain, increase the mobilization of the glenohumeral joint, and will improve functionality in patients with adhesive capsulitis.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of two different exercise programs in patients with frozen shoulders.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of exercise and oral corticosteroids the treatment of a FS.
Background: Adhesive capsulitis (AC) is a common musculoskeletal disease characterized by pain and limitation of movement in the shoulders of patients. Purpose: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of short- and long-term therapeutic ultrasound (US) and high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) in the treatment of AC. Methods: A total of 60 patients with AC were randomized into two groups. Group I received US (15 sessions in total) and Group II received HILT (9 sessions in total) for 3 weeks. In addition, all the patients received 15 sessions of physical therapy programs (hot pack, TENS and therapeutic exercises). Assessments were made using VAS-Pain, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) and range of motion (ROM) with goniometer before and at the end of the treatment and in the posttreatment 1st and 6th months.
