Focal VibrationTherapy

Clinical Study ID

NCT05214547
BEU_FV
  • Ages > 18
  • All Genders

Study Summary

We hypothesize that focal vibration therapy will reduce pain, increase the mobilization of the glenohumeral joint, and will improve functionality in patients with adhesive capsulitis.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients aged > 18 years

  • Unilateral adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder

  • The symptom duration > 3 months

  • Shoulder pain

  • The limited glenohumeral joint active range of motion of greater than 50% in atleast three specific movements among abduction, flexion, internal rotation, andexternal rotation

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous shoulder surgeries

  • Massive, minor, and major rotator cuff tears

  • Pain and muscle strength loss due to neurological causes

  • History or presence of malignancy

  • Osteoporosis

  • Diabetes

Study Description

The underlying mechanism of focal vibration therapy in individuals with adhesive capsulitis still remains unclear. Considering the physiological mechanism of focal vibration therapy, the effect of focal vibration therapy on pain, function, and resting muscle tone in patients with adhesive capsulitis will be evaluated. There are no studies examining the effect of focal vibration therapy on shoulder muscle tone in individuals with adhesive capsulitis.
