It consists of 13 items with two domains; a subscale (5-item) that measures pain, and another subscale (8-item) that assesses disability. Each subscale is added and transformed into a score that ranges from 0 (less shoulder disability) to 100 (more shoulder dysfunction).'}]}, 'oversightModule': {'oversightHasDmc': True, 'isFdaRegulatedDrug': False, 'isFdaRegulatedDevice': False}, 'conditionsModule': {'keywords': ['spencer Muscle energy technique', 'post facilitation', 'pain', 'range of motion'], 'conditions': ['Frozen Shoulder']}, 'descriptionModule': {'briefSummary': "Adhesive capsulitis is one of the most common problems of the upper limb. Adhesive capsulitis (AC) and frozen shoulder syndrome (FSS) are two terms that have been used to describe a painful and stiff shoulder.\n\nConservative treatment includes transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), Ultrasound, LASER, Range of Motion, stretching and strengthening exercises, patient education, and home exercises. Manual therapy includes mobilization, Spencer's Muscle Energy Technique and Mobilization With Movement.", 'detailedDescription': 'The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons defines this condition as: "A condition of varying severity characterized by the gradual development of global limitation of active and passive shoulder motion where radiographic findings other than osteopenia are absent." Patients with frozen shoulder typically experience insidious shoulder stiffness, severe pain that usually worsens at night, and near-complete loss of passive and active external rotation of the shoulder.\n\nAlthough spencer\'s Muscle Energy Technique is a very effective technique, still it was rarely used. It is a standardized series of steps of shoulder treatments with broad application in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis developed by Spencer in 1961 and is a well-known osteopathic manipulative technique that focuses on mobilization of the glenohumeral and scapulothoracic joints. It is an articulatory technique in which passive, smooth, rhythmic motion of the shoulder joint is done by the therapist to stretch contracted muscles, ligaments, and capsule. Most of the force is applied at the end range of motion. This technique increases pain-free Range of Motion by stretching the tissues, enhancing lymphatic flow, and stimulating increased joint circulation.\n\nOn the other hand, "post-facilitation stretch (PFS)" is a muscle energy technique developed by Dr.Vladimir Janda to lengthen chronically shortened muscles that involves a maximal contraction of the muscle at mid-range with a rapid movement to maximal length followed by a 20-second static stretch. This technique is more aggressive than Post Isometric Relaxation and based on the concept of autogenic inhibition'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '60 Years', 'minimumAge': '40 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients with primary unilateral adhesive capsulitis\n* Stage II and III adhesive capsulitis\n* Patients with limited active and passive Range of Motion of the affected shoulder (globally loss of at least 50% compared to non-involved shoulder in one or more directions)\n* Patients with controlled diabetes\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients with a positive history of trauma, fracture, or surgery of the cervical spine\n* Corticosteroid injection in the affected shoulder in the preceding 4 weeks.\n* Malignancy/Avascular Necrosis of shoulder\n* Post-traumatic shoulder stiffness\n* Thoracic outlet syndrome/neurological disorder\n* Patients with cervical radiculopathy'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT05811533', 'briefTitle': "Comparison of Spencer's Muscle Energy Technique and Post-facilitation Stretch in Patients With Adhesive Capsulitis", 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Riphah International University'}, 'officialTitle': "Comparison of Spencer's Muscle Energy Technique and Post-facilitation Stretch in Patients With Adhesive Capsulitis", 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'REC/MS-PT/01496 Neelam'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': "Spencer's MET with conventional therapy", 'description': 'Patients will be asked to lie in a side lying position with the affected shoulder above.
