Study tests if At-Home rehab can replace clinic visits for elbow pain
NCT ID NCT07582510
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares doing physical therapy at home via video calls (telerehabilitation) versus going to a clinic for in-person sessions. Researchers want to see if remote therapy can reduce pain and improve function just as well for people with medial epicondylitis, also known as golfer's elbow. The study will involve 60 adults aged 18 to 60 who have had symptoms for at least six weeks.
