Mulligan Mobilization With Laser for Shoulder Adhesive Capsulitis

Shoulder Adhesive Capsulitis Clinical Trial

Official title: Additive Effect of Mulligan Mobilization With Low Level Laser Therapy for Treatment of Patients With Shoulder Adhesive Capsulitis: Double Blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial.

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) is a condition of uncertain etiology characterized by pain and progressive loss of both active and passive shoulder motion.

Shoulder pain and stiffness are accompanied by disability. It is thought that the incidence is 3 to 5% in the general population. Laser therapy is widely used for treating different musculoskeletal diseases, because of its ability to reduce pain and improve the physical function. Also, MWM when used for shoulders with limited range of motion because of pain had shown improvement in range of motion and pressure pain threshold. Previous studies have investigated the efficacy of combining different manual technique with LLLT for treating pain in some body parts. However, up till now the combined effect of MWM with LLLT for treatment of patients with shoulder adhesive capsulitis have not been investigated.

So, the present randomized controlled study will be conducted to investigate the effect of adding mulligan mobilization with movement to low level laser therapy in treatment of patients with shoulder adhesive capsulitis.
