Assessment of Frozen Shoulder Treatment Using 432 Hertz Frequency Music: A Clinical Trial

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of listening to music during the treatment of frozen shoulder on pain, normal range of motion, functional activity status and quality of life.Upon recruitment, the subjects were randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups: Group 1 received Music + Mobilization + Exercise, Group 2 received Music + Exercise, Group 3 received Mobilization + Exercise, and Group 4 received Exercise only.

Conditions

• Frozen Shoulder
• 432 Hertz Frequency Music
• Manual Therapy
• Exercise

Interventions

OTHER

432 Hertz frequency music

432 Hertz frequency music was played to patients through headphones during hotpack and TENS applications.

OTHER

TENS

The TENS treatment was conducted using a double-channel TENS device equipped with four electrodes. The electrodes were placed around the painful area to ensure targeted stimulation. Each session lasted for 30 minutes, during which the TENS device operated at a high frequency range of 60-120 Hz. To achieve the desired analgesic effect, a short transition time of 20-120 microseconds was employed.

OTHER

Mobilization

Electrophysiological agents were administered to the affected shoulder joint area before initiating mobilization. The Cyriax mobilization techniques targeted the scapula, clavicular, and GH joints, considering their biomechanical interaction and the specific dysfunction of each patient.

OTHER

Exercises

The combined utilization of exercises targeting the glenohumeral (GH) joint, scapulothoracic (ST) region, and stretching has demonstrated significant effectiveness in ameliorating range of motion and alleviating pain during the treatment of Frozen Shoulder (FS). These exercises were closely supervised and administered by the physiotherapist in each session. Furthermore, a home exercise program was provided to the patients, consisting of exercises for posture, thera band, and finger ladder. They were instructed to perform 10-15 repetitions of these exercises twice a day independently.

OTHER

Hotpack

Each group of patients received a 20-minute hot pack application to the scapula and shoulder circumference.
