Details and patient eligibility

About

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of listening to music during the treatment of frozen shoulder on pain, normal range of motion, functional activity status and quality of life.Upon recruitment, the subjects were randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups: Group 1 received Music + Mobilization + Exercise, Group 2 received Music + Exercise, Group 3 received Mobilization + Exercise, and Group 4 received Exercise only.

Full description

Forty individuals diagnosed with frozen shoulder were randomly allocated into four distinct treatment groups. Each participant received a total of eighteen treatment sessions, administered three days per week. Pain levels, range of motion of the shoulder joint, functional status, general health condition, and quality of life were measured and recorded for each participant both before and after the treatment.

40 participants in 4 patient groups

Grup 1(Music + mobilization + exercise was applied)

Experimental group

Description:

In this group, hot packs and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) were applied to the patients simultaneously, while they were listening to 432 hertz frequency music through headphones. Subsequently, shoulder mobilization was applied in appropriate positions. The exercises were conducted by the physiotherapist during the session and the manageable exercises were given to the patients as a home program.

Grup 3 (mobilization + exercise)

Active Comparator group

Description:

After applying hot packs and TENS(Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) to the patients, shoulder mobilization was performed in suitable positions.The exercises were conducted by the physiotherapist during the session and the manageable exercises were given to the patients as a home program.
