The Effect of Fascial Treatment in Patients With Adhesive Capsulitis
Sponsor: Hasan Kalyoncu University
Summary
Our study is unique in that it utilizes a self-designed fascial mobilization protocol and ultrasonographic evaluation for adhesive capsulitis. Therefore, the aim of our study is to investigate the effects of fascial therapy on pain, normal joint range of motion, proprioception, and fascial architecture in patients diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis.

Interventions
electrotherapy treatment
Patients in the electrotherapy group will receive 15 sessions of TENS, hotpack, and ultrasound, 45 minutes each, 5 days a week, for 3 weeks. The treatment program is planned for 20 minutes of TENS, 15 minutes of hotpack, and 10 minutes of ultrasound.
Facsial therapy
In addition to electrotherapy, the patients in the study group will receive a total of five sessions (one day per week for five weeks) of fascial therapy. The protocol will be developed by us. Fascial mobilization will be performed by a trained physiotherapist on the pectoral fascia, deltoid fascia, axillary fascia, and supscapularis fascia, once a week, for 180 seconds each repetition. These sessions will be performed at the pain threshold, and care will be taken to ensure that the pain does not exceed a VAS score of 2.
