A Comparative Study to Find out the effect of Ultrasound with end Range Mobilization Over Cryotherapy with end Range Mobilization on Pain in Frozen Shoulder

Background: Effectiveness of any individualized therapeutic modality in reducing pain in frozen shoulder is questionable and the combination of therapies has contradictory results.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to check the effectiveness of Ultrasound with end range mobilization over Cryotherapy with end range mobilization in alleviating pain of patients with frozen shoulder.

Method: Forty subjects diagnosed to have frozen shoulder were randomly assigned to two groups. Subjects in Group I received Ultrasound and End range mobilization of shoulder while subjects in Group II got Cryotherapy and End range mobilization of shoulder. Both the groups were treated once a day, 6 days a week for 4 weeks. Response to pain was considered as the outcome measure.

Results: Data analysis was done considering p

Conclusion: Ultrasound with end range mobilization produced better pain relief compared to cryotherapy with end range mobilization and therefore can be recommended as a safe treatment for frozen shoulder.
