About this study
The shoulder joint capsule is a fibrous sheath that encloses and stabilizes the structures of the shoulder joint, extending from the anatomical neck of the humerus to the rim of the glenoid fossa. It is normally lax, allowing a wide range of motion. Shoulder adhesive capsulitis, or frozen shoulder, is a common musculoskeletal condition characterized by pain and restricted movement due to thickening and contraction of this capsule. Proper coordination between the scapula and humerus-known as the scapulohumeral rhythm-is essential for normal shoulder motion. Disruption of this rhythm contributes to movement limitation and pain in adhesive capsulitis.
This randomized, single-blind clinical trial aims to investigate the combined effect of the Mulligan technique and scapular mobilization on improving shoulder range of motion, pain, disability, and scapulohumeral rhythm in patients with adhesive capsulitis. Thirty-eight participants aged 30 to 60 years, diagnosed with unilateral adhesive capsulitis, will be randomly assigned to two groups. Group A will receive Mulligan mobilization techniques for shoulder elevation, internal and external rotation, along with scapular mobilization. Group B will receive conventional physical therapy consisting of hot packs, ultrasound, stretching, and range-of-motion exercises. Both groups will undergo treatment three times per week for four weeks.
Primary outcomes include changes in shoulder range of motion (measured using a digital goniometer), pain and disability (measured by the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index [SPADI]), and scapulohumeral rhythm (assessed using tape measurement). The study is expected to provide clinical evidence on whether combining Mulligan and scapular mobilization techniques yields superior functional recovery compared with conventional physiotherapy alone in patients with shoulder adhesive capsulitis.
Read the detailed description
The shoulder joint capsule is a fibrous structure that surrounds the shoulder joint and connects the anatomical neck of the humerus to the rim of the glenoid fossa. It provides stability to the joint while allowing extensive mobility. In adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, the capsule becomes inflamed, thickened, and contracted, leading to pain, stiffness, and a progressive loss of both active and passive range of motion. This condition is most common in middle-aged individuals and can significantly limit daily function.
Normal shoulder motion depends on a coordinated movement pattern between the scapula and the humerus, known as the scapulohumeral rhythm. During shoulder elevation, approximately two degrees of glenohumeral motion are accompanied by one degree of scapulothoracic movement. Disruption of this rhythm contributes to movement dysfunction, altered biomechanics, and pain. Rehabilitation approaches that restore this coordination are therefore critical for effective management of adhesive capsulitis.
The Mulligan mobilization technique involves the application of sustained accessory glides by the therapist concurrent with the patient's active movement. This technique aims to correct positional faults, reduce pain, and improve joint mobility without provoking discomfort. Scapular mobilization is a manual therapy approach designed to restore normal motion of the scapula on the thoracic cage and to improve the scapulohumeral rhythm during shoulder elevation.
This study is designed as a randomized, single-blind clinical trial to evaluate the combined effect of Mulligan mobilization and scapular mobilization in patients with adhesive capsulitis. Thirty-eight participants aged between 30 and 60 years with unilateral adhesive capsulitis will be randomly assigned into two groups. Group A will receive Mulligan techniques for shoulder elevation, internal rotation, and external rotation in addition to scapular mobilization. Group B will receive conventional physical therapy consisting of hot packs, pulsed ultrasound at 1 MHz and 0.8 W/cm² for five minutes, posterior capsule stretching, and range-of-motion exercises. Both groups will receive therapy three times per week for four weeks.
Outcome assessments will include shoulder range of motion using a digital goniometer, pain and disability using the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), and scapulohumeral rhythm using a tape measurement method. Measurements will be taken before and after the four-week intervention period. It is hypothesized that the combined Mulligan and scapular mobilization protocol will produce greater improvements in pain reduction, joint range, and scapulohumeral coordination compared to conventional physiotherapy alone.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Shoulder Range of Motion (Flexion, Internal Rotation, External Rotation, and Abduction)
Shoulder joint range of motion (flexion, internal rotation, external rotation, and abduction) will be assessed using a digital goniometer. Each movement will be measured three times, and the mean value will be used for analysis.
Measured: Baseline and at 4 weeks post-intervention
Change in Shoulder Pain and Disability (SPADI Score)
Pain and functional disability will be assessed using the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI). The SPADI includes 13 items: a 5-item pain subscale and an 8-item disability subscale. Each item is scored on a 0-10 scale, with higher scores indicating greater pain and disability.
Measured: Baseline and at 4 weeks post-intervention
Change in Scapulohumeral Rhythm
Scapulohumeral rhythm will be evaluated using a tape measurement method during shoulder elevation to assess the coordination between scapular and humeral motion.
Measured: Baseline and at 4 weeks post-intervention

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Mulligan Technique with Scapular Mobilization and Conventional Physiotherapy in people with Adhesive Capsulitis of Shoulder and Frozen Shoulder, run by Deraya University at 1 site in Egypt.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in Shoulder Range of Motion (Flexion, Internal Rotation, External Rotation, and Abduction) (time frame: Baseline and at 4 weeks post-intervention). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07356947, which also lists 10 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
