Powerball exercise for elbow pain in teens
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a Powerball (a small exercise ball) can help teenagers with elbow pain caused by a condition called medial epicondyle apophysitis, which is an overuse injury where the growth plate in the elbow becomes inflamed. The trial aims to see if adding Powerball exercises to standard treatment improves recovery.

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 tests two treatments for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): shock wave therapy, which uses sound waves to help healing, and blood flow restriction therapy, which uses a cuff to increase blood flow during exercise. It aims to see if combining them works better than either alone, which might help reduce pain and improve your arm's function.
