Virtual reality for medial epicondyle apophysitis treatment
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if using virtual reality can help children and teens with medial epicondyle apophysitis (an overuse injury of the elbow, common in young athletes). Participants will do standard treatment plus virtual reality sessions to see if it helps recovery.

This study tests a new treatment called 'Powerball' for teens with little league elbow (a common overuse injury on the inner side of the elbow). The goal is to see if a spinning ball device can help reduce pain and improve elbow function when added to usual care.
This trial tests if virtual reality games can help young patients recover faster and move better after surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon. You will play fun games as part of your rehab exercises.
This study tests whether adding virtual reality exercises to standard physical therapy helps people with a specific wrist ligament injury. It compares usual rehab with a program that uses fun, virtual-reality games to improve strength and control.
This trial uses a virtual reality system (Leap Motion) to help with hand rehabilitation after flexor tendon surgery. It aims to see if this technology makes recovery more effective than standard therapy.
This trial tests whether virtual reality (a computer-made, 3D environment) can help people with shoulder problems recover better. You would use a VR headset for exercises, and the study will see if it improves your shoulder movement or pain.
This study compares a new approach using immersive virtual reality headsets to help with shoulder tendon pain against traditional physiotherapy. The goal is to see if the virtual reality method helps reduce pain and improve shoulder function as well as or better than standard exercises.
