Can a simple mobilization technique beat tennis elbow pain?
NCT ID NCT07589725
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding Mulligan mobilization with movement (MWM) to exercise reduces pain and improves grip strength in people with tennis elbow. 45 adults with elbow pain for at least 3 months will be split into three groups: MWM plus exercise, sham MWM plus exercise, or exercise alone. Researchers will measure pain, function, and muscle stiffness right after treatment and at 3 and 6 months to see if MWM offers lasting benefits beyond placebo.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Mulligan mobilization with movement (MWM) plus exercise
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, non-drug therapy option to ease pain and improve function in people with tennis elbow.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 45 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The sham group may also show improvement, making it hard to prove MWM's unique benefit.
