Eighty patients with adhesive capsulitis were randomized to receive either proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) (n=40) or conventional physiotherapy including capsular stretching (n=40). The primary outcomes were pain intensity (NPRS) and shoulder range of motion (ROM) measured by goniometer. Secondary outcomes included functional limitation and disability assessed via the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI). Outcomes were assessed at baseline and after 6 weeks of treatment. Overall, the results of the study revealed that both groups improved, but the PNF group showed significantly greater improvements in pain reduction, ROM in rotation movements, and SPADI scores. These findings suggest that PNF is more effective than conventional therapy for short-term management of adhesive capsulitis.
