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.
