New combo therapy aims to loosen stiff elbows without surgery

NCT ID NCT07598526

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two physical therapy approaches for people with elbow stiffness after a fracture. Thirty participants will either receive Mulligan mobilization alone or combined with myofascial release. Both groups also get heat packs and stretching. The goal is to see which method better reduces pain, improves range of motion, and restores daily function.

Mulligan mobilization with myofascial release technique

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a more effective physical therapy approach for people with stiff elbows after injury.

What could go wrong
