About

This study will compare the effectiveness of the Spencer Technique combined with intra-articular injection versus conventional therapy combined with intra-articular injection in managing frozen shoulder. The research problem addresses the need for optimal therapeutic approaches to improve pain relief, range of motion, and functional recovery in patients with frozen shoulder.

Full description

Utilizing a randomized controlled trial, the study will recruit 100 participants, divided into two groups: Group A receiving the Spencer Technique with intra-articular injection and Group B receiving conventional therapy with intra-articular injection. Outcome measures will include pain levels, range of motion, shoulder functional status and patient satisfaction, assessed through validated tools. The significance of this study lies in its potential to provide robust comparative data to guide clinical decisions and enhance patient outcomes, particularly in populations with a high prevalence of diabetes
