Mulligan Mobilization for Tennis Elbow
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a hands-on physical therapy technique called Mulligan mobilization can reduce pain and improve function in people with lateral elbow tendinopathy (often called tennis elbow). You'll receive treatment sessions and be compared to other participants to see if this approach works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old
- You have had one-sided elbow pain and tenderness for at least 3 months
- Your doctor has confirmed lateral elbow tendinopathy using specific physical tests (tenderness over the outer elbow bump, plus three positive movement tests)
- You have not had elbow surgery or serious elbow injuries like dislocation or fracture
- You have not received any treatment for this elbow condition in the past 6 months
- You do not have neck pain radiating down your arm, rheumatologic disease, or cancer

This trial tests if a new way of thinking about the nerves and layers in your arm (called TINLL) works better than usual therapy for people with pain on the outside of their elbow. It may help you get better faster.
This study tests if combining magnetotherapy (using magnetic fields) with cold packs and exercise helps reduce pain and improve function in people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). It may be a good option if you have had elbow pain for a while and haven't had recent treatments.
This study compares two treatments for tennis elbow: scapular (shoulder blade) exercises and a type of shockwave therapy (ESWT). It aims to see which helps reduce pain and improve function better.
This study compares two exercise programs to see which helps people with long-lasting pain on one elbow (tennis elbow). If you have symptoms for at least 3 months, the trial may help improve pain and function using supervised, elbow-focused training.
This study compares two gentle hand-on treatments (mobilization and myofascial release) for tennis elbow. It aims to see which one works better for reducing pain and improving function.
This study compares two types of physical therapy—sustained stretching and mobilization with movement—to see which one helps people with long-standing tennis elbow (at least 4–6 months) feel better and use their arm more easily.
