Brief 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.

And for group B Dry needling with conventional physical therapy.

DN ( dry needling) is applied on trigger points in the muscles (at a time two muscles) muscles would be supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis, deltoid, and also used in myofascial pain around the shoulder joint combine with conventional physical therapy. Applying to the other 15 patients group B Needles with lengths of 25 to 40mm and widths of 0.25mm will be used. Each needle will be used once. 1 to 2 minutes for each trigger point. DN 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.
