Frozen shoulder is a painful condition that limits movement and function of the shoulder joint. The study will include 44 adults aged 35 to 65 years who have been diagnosed with stage II frozen shoulder. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Both groups will receive standard physiotherapy, including heat therapy, TENS, and stretching exercises. In addition, one group will receive the Niel-Asher Technique, while the other group will receive the Spencer Technique. Pain, range of motion, and shoulder function will be measured before and after a 4-week treatment period using validated tools such as the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), a goniometer, and the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI). The goal is to determine which manual therapy technique is more effective in improving symptoms and function in patients with frozen shoulder.",[79,80],"Frozen Shoulder","Adhesive Capsulitis",[82,9,15,83,84],"Manual Therapy","Pain","Range of motion","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-07-14",{"date":88,"type":89},"2025-07-23","ACTUAL",{"date":91,"type":73},"2025-07",{"date":93,"type":73},"2025-11-30",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
