Brief Summary  
Background: Frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis is a disease that usually occurs between the age group of 40-70 years; the females and diabetic patients more prone to the disease. Physiotherapy and Agnikarama are the commonest modalities used for the treatment of this disease in contemporary science and Ayurveda respectively. The traditional Vaidyas, Nadi Vaidya and bonesetters are commonly practising another modality called Marma Chikitsa, however, the literature regarding this is very sparse. Objective: To compare the efficacy of Marma Chikitsa, Agnikarma and physiotherapy in Avabahuka. Methods: 150 patients of Avabahuka (frozen shoulder) will be randomly allotted to three groups having 50 patients in each. Group A will be treated with the Marma Chikitsa for the alternate day. Group B will be treated with the Agnikarma, which will be repeated after 7 days, such three settings will be done. Group C will be treated with the physiotherapy for 15 continues days which shall include Ultrasound, TENS and Exercise for a range of motion (ROM). Statistical Analysis will be done after the last visit of the patient for the anticipative outcome by using Paired t-test, Unpaired t-test and one way ANOVA tests. Results: We anticipate that Marma Chikitsa may have a better outcome as compared to Agnikarma and Physiotherapy. Conclusion: Marma Chikitsa will be the new inclusion in the therapeutic model of Avabahuka and also can be studied in different musculoskeletal disordersr
