Comparing the Efficacy of KT vs DN With Conventional Treatment for Improving QOL and Alleviating Pain in Frozen Shoulder
Sponsor: Superior University
Summary
"Randomized control trial is our study design, we will make 2 groups group A ( 15 patients of frozen shoulder) and Group B (15 patients of frozen shoulder). we will apply interventions by this way For group A KT (kinesiology taping) will be applied on frozen shoulder patients by a professional physiotherapist or certified physiotherapist according to their pain pattern in muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, deltoid, subscapularis) with conventional physiotherapy of frozen shoulder also continues on 15 patients (group A). KT will apply twice a week for 8 weeks. We can check the results of our intervention every week by using variable tools or outcome measures, measuring pain by VAD (visual analog scale) and quality of life in the frozen shoulder by SPADI (shoulder pain and disability index) every week. And for group B Dry needling with conventional physical therapy.

Kinesio taping
Kinesio taping is a physiotherapy method employed to provide support and stability to muscles and joints while allowing freedom of movement (ROM). The elastic nature of kinesio tape closely resembles that of human skin. After application, kinesio tape rebounds, generating a pulling force that acts as the primary stabilizer for the specific area. Physiotherapy treatments often involve a combination of stretching and strengthening exercises, along with electrotherapy modalities. Additionally, Joint mobilization is a form of passive movement in a broad spectrum of exercise used to treat painful and stiff synovial joints.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a minimally invasive technique involving the use of a single filament or acupuncture needle to penetrate painful soft tissue areas. From a neurophysiological standpoint, Dry Needling might stimulate A-delta nerve fibers (group III), which could activate inhibitory dorsal horn interneurons containing enkephalin, leading to pain suppression and relief through opioid mechanisms. (DN) may affect microcirculation. Numerous studies have shown that inserting needles into muscles can increase blood flow in both the skin and the muscle in the treated area. It can lead to an immediate reduction in local and referred pains, as well as enhance range of motion (ROM) and correct muscle activity patterns.
