Powerball device for little league elbow
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a new type of electrical stimulation (called SIS) combined with exercise and education helps people with tennis elbow recover faster. You would attend therapy sessions and follow a home exercise plan.
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.
This trial tests whether combining eccentric exercises with muscle energy technique can help reduce pain and improve function in people with tennis elbow. It is for those who have had symptoms for more than a few weeks.
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.
