Effects of Gong's Mobilization With and Without Nielasher Technique on in Adhesive Capsulitis
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Adhesive Capsulitis
In brief
Adhesive Capsulitis causes a progressive tightening of the glenohumeral joint capsule, restricting both active and passive movements and resulting in functional impairments. Joint mobilization is an essential component of physical therapy for managing adhesive capsulitis. Two new techniques are emerging in the treatment of Adhesive capsulitis; one of them is called Gong's Mobilization. This technique emphasizes correcting positional faults by applying controlled, dynamic movements to the glenohumeral joint. The other technique, known as Niel-Asher technique is a five-step trigger point therapy which offers a unique, non-invasive holistic approach to address adhesive capsulitis. This study, will be conducted as a randomized clinical trial at Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital and Hope Rehabilitation Center, it aims to evaluate the effects of Gong's mobilization with and without Niel-Asher technique on shoulder pain, ROM and disability in Adhesive Capsulitis of patients aged 40-60 years. A non-probability convenience sampling method will recruit 46 participants meeting the inclusion criteria only. Participants will be randomly assigned to Group A (Gong's Mobilization) or Group B (Gong's mobilization and and Niel-Asher technique) with interventions given for four weeks. Pain severity will be measured using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Range of Motion will be assessed via goniometer, and disability will be evaluated using the SPADI. Statistical analysis using SPSS will compare outcomes between groups at baseline, at two weeks and post-treatment after 4 weeks.
