It is defined as a condition of uncertain aetilogy, characterized by significant restriction of both active and passive shoulder motion that occurs in the absence of a known intrinsic shoulder disorder. The gleno-humeral joint becomes painful and stiff because of the loss of resilience of the joint capsule, possibly with adhesions between its folds. Often, there is a history of preceding trauma.

At R.B.T.S. Govt. Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital, there are significant foot falls of patients suffering from frozen shoulder and the Nosodes group of medicines is frequently indicated for their treatment. Although various studies have been conducted on the treatment of frozen shoulder with homoeopathic medicines, there has been a lack of research specifically focusing on the Nosodes group. The homoeopathic materia medica is rich with symptoms of frozen shoulder related to Nosodes, which has inspired me to pursue research on this topic.
