Massage therapy for hand tendon recovery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle massage technique called myofascial release to see if it reduces pain, improves grip strength, and helps hand function after flexor tendon repair surgery. It may help people who are in the later stages of hand rehabilitation.
