Summary

This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness of Dry Needling and Neural Mobilization in patients diagnosed with Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis). The study will evaluate the effects of both interventions on pain intensity, grip strength, and range of motion. Participants will be randomly allocated to either the Dry Needling group or the Neural Mobilization group and treated over a specified intervention period. Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline and after treatment to determine which intervention provides greater improvement in pain reduction, muscle strength, and functional mobility. The results may contribute to evidence-based rehabilitation strategies for managing Golfer's Elbow

Conditions

  • Golfer's Elbow
  • Medial Epicondylitis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Dry needling

Participants will receive dry needling to the affected forearm muscles along with conventional physiotherapy. Treatment will be administered twice weekly for 6 weeks, totaling 12 sessions. Outcomes will include pain, grip strength, and range of motion

PROCEDURE

Neural mobilization

Participants will receive neural mobilization techniques along with conventional physiotherapy. Treatment will be administered twice weekly for 6 weeks, totaling 12 sessions. Outcomes will include pain, grip strength, and range of motion.
