Evaluation of the Comparative Efficacy of Honey Thermal Microcautery, Standard Physiotherapy, and <i>Sida cordifolia</i> Oil via Nasal Administration in the Management of Frozen Shoulder: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Frozen shoulder is an ailment that denotes dysfunction in the arm characterized by limited range of motion accompanied by pain. The prevalence of adhesive capsulitis is 3% to 5% in the general population and up to 20% in those with diabetes. Physiotherapy, analgesics, corticosteroids, and surgical capsulotomy are common forms of treatment. Administering oil through the nasal route (or nasya karma) is mentioned in the Ayurvedic scriptures for managing neck and clavicle disorders. Thermal microcautery (or agni karma) is a parasurgical procedure for treating related pathologies of bodily humors (vata and kapha). This study will aim to compare the efficacy of honey thermal microcautery, standard physiotherapy, and Sida cordifolia oil via nasal administration in the treatment
