Telehealth vs. In-Person Physical Therapy for Golfer's Elbow
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares doing physical therapy exercises at home with video guidance versus attending in-person sessions for medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow). The goal is to see which approach helps reduce pain and improve function better.
