Effect of Gongs Mobilization With Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation vs Conservative Exercises Among Adhesive Capsulitis

This study evaluates the effectiveness of Gong's mobilization combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation versus conservative exercises in improving range of motion, pain relief, and functional outcomes in patients with adhesive capsulitis.

Using a randomized controlled design with 36 participants with estimated drop out 10% will be 40, the study will measure changes in active and passive shoulder mobility and SPADI scores after 6 weeks.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosed cases of frozen shoulder confirmed by an orthopedician.
• Patients in stage II or III of adhesive capsulitis.
• Participants of both genders aged 41-60 years.
• Subjects with a restricted range of motion (ROM), with losses of 25% or greater compared to the unaffected shoulder.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Rotator cuff tears.
• Overuse injuries.
• History of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or malignancies in the shoulder region.
• Adhesive capsulitis secondary to neurological disorders.
• Unstable shoulders or recurrent dislocations.
• Post-surgical cases involving the shoulder.
