The Combined Effect of Mulligan Mobilization, Pain Neuroscience-Based Training, and Core Stabilization Exercises in Frozen Shoulder Patients

2026년 8월 2일 업데이트: Yeditepe University

The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to investigate the effects of a combined rehabilitation program consisting of Mulligan Mobilization with Movement (MWM), Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE), and core stabilization exercises in individuals with adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder).

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

Does the combination of Mulligan mobilization, Pain Neuroscience Education, and core stabilization exercises reduce pain in individuals with adhesive capsulitis? Does this combined intervention improve shoulder range of motion, shoulder function, quality of life, scapular dyskinesis, and pain catastrophizing compared with conventional physical therapy?

Participants diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The intervention group will receive Mulligan mobilization, Pain Neuroscience Education, and core stabilization exercises, while the control group will receive conventional physical therapy, including TENS, hot-pack application, passive joint mobilization, and stretching exercises. Both groups will participate in treatment sessions three times per week for six weeks. Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline and after completion of the 6-week intervention period.

연구 개요

상세 설명

Adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as frozen shoulder, is a musculoskeletal disorder characterized by shoulder pain, progressive restriction of active and passive range of motion, and functional disability. The condition negatively affects activities of daily living and quality of life and is most frequently observed in individuals between 40 and 65 years of age. Despite the widespread use of conventional physiotherapy interventions, optimal treatment strategies remain under investigation.

Mulligan Mobilization with Movement (MWM) is a manual therapy technique that combines sustained accessory joint glides with active pain-free movement. Previous studies have demonstrated beneficial effects of Mulligan mobilization on pain reduction and functional improvement in individuals with adhesive capsulitis. Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) is an educational approach designed to improve patients' understanding of pain mechanisms and reduce maladaptive beliefs related to pain. Core stabilization exercises, particularly those based on Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) principles, aim to improve postural control, neuromuscular coordination, and movement efficiency.

Although the effectiveness of Mulligan mobilization has been investigated in patients with adhesive capsulitis, there is limited evidence regarding the use of Pain Neuroscience Education in this population, and the effects of DNS-based core stabilization exercises have not been adequately studied. Furthermore, no previous study has examined the combined effects of Mulligan mobilization, Pain Neuroscience Education, and core stabilization exercises in individuals with adhesive capsulitis.

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the short-term effects of a combined intervention consisting of Mulligan mobilization, Pain Neuroscience Education, and core stabilization exercises on pain intensity, shoulder range of motion, shoulder function, pain catastrophizing, scapular dyskinesis, core stability, and health-related quality of life in individuals with adhesive capsulitis.

Participants diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis will be randomly allocated to one of two groups. The experimental group will receive Mulligan mobilization, Pain Neuroscience Education, and DNS-based core stabilization exercises. The control group will receive conventional physical therapy consisting of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), hot-pack application, passive joint mobilization, and stretching exercises. Both groups will participate in treatment sessions three times per week for six weeks. Assessments will be conducted at baseline and after completion of the intervention period.

The findings of this study may contribute to the development of a more comprehensive rehabilitation approach for individuals with adhesive capsulitis and provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of combining manual therapy, pain education, and core stabilization strategies in clinical practice.

무기와 개입

참가자 그룹 / 팔
개입 / 치료
실험적: Experimental - Combined Treatment Group
Mulligan Mobilization + Pain Neuroscience Education + Core Stabilization Exercises
Participants will receive Pain Neuroscience Education focused on the biopsychosocial nature of pain, central sensitization, the distinction between pain and tissue damage, and strategies to reduce fear of movement. The initial educational session will last approximately 15-20 minutes, followed by 5-10 minute reinforcement sessions throughout the intervention period. Education will be delivered through verbal explanations and interactive discussion.
Participants will receive Mulligan Mobilization with Movement techniques applied to the glenohumeral joint, including posterolateral glide with active abduction, inferior glide with shoulder flexion, and posterior glide with internal rotation. Mobilizations will be performed within a pain-free range of motion. Each technique will be administered in 3 sets of 10 repetitions with 30 seconds of rest between sets. Treatment will be provided three times per week for six weeks
Participants will perform Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS)-based core stabilization exercises. The program will include diaphragmatic breathing, supine 90/90 positioning, abdominal bracing, and progression to dead bug, bird-dog, and modified plank exercises as tolerated. Exercises will be performed in 2-3 sets of 8-12 repetitions with 10-20 second isometric holds. Progression will occur from stable to unstable surfaces and from static to dynamic activities
활성 비교기: Active Comparator - Conventional Physical Therapy Group
Conventional Physical Therapy (TENS + hot-pack + ROM Exercises + Stretching Exercises)
Participants in the control group will receive conventional physical therapy consisting of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) applied at a sensory level for 20 minutes, hot-pack application for 20 minutes, passive shoulder joint mobilization exercises, pendulum exercises, and wand exercises. Treatment sessions will be conducted three times per week for six weeks.
