Intervention / Comparator Agent
|
| sno | Intervention/Comparator | Type | Drug-Type | Procedure Name | Details | | 1 | Intervention Arm | Procedure | - | mulligan mobilization with movement with deep friction massage | (Procedure Reference: Vicenzino, B., Collins, D., Wright, A. (1996). The initial effects of a cervical spine manipulative physiotherapy treatment on the pain and dysfunction of lateral epicondylalgia. Pain, 68(1), 69–74.Stasinopoulos, D., & Johnson, M.I. (2004). Cyriax physiotherapy for tennis elbow/lateral epicondylitis. British Journal of Sports Medicine, 38(6), 675–677, Procedure details: Group A will receive Mulligan Mobilization with Movement, where a sustained pain-free glide is applied while the patient performs active wrist movement. This will be followed by Deep Friction Massage applied transversely over the common extensor tendon for 7–10 minutes to reduce pain & improve mobility. Sessions will be conducted for 45 minutes, three times a week for six weeks.)
| | 2 | Comparator Arm (Non Ayurveda) | | - | Kinesiology Taping with Progressive Strengthening Exercise | Group B will receive Kinesiology Taping applied over the wrist extensor muscles with 15–25% tension to support muscle function and reduce pain. This will be combined with Progressive Strengthening Exercises targeting the wrist and forearm using resistance bands and light weights. Sessions will last 45 minutes, three times a week for six weeks. |

Brief Summary
|
This randomized comparaitive experimental study investigates the effectiveness of two different physiotherapy intervention for tennis elbow in individuals aged 20 to 50 years. A total of 88participants are randomly divided into two groups equal. Group A receives mulligan mobilization combined with deep friction massage, while group B receives kinesiology taping along with progressive strengthening exercise. The intervention is administered three time a week for six weeks. Clinical outcomes are measured using the Visual Analogue scale for pain, PRTEE for functional disability and a digital inclinometer for assessing range of motion. Assessments are conducted at baseline, at the 3rd week(mid intervention), to compare which treatment approach results in better pain relief, functional improvement, and restoration of movement in patients suffering from tennis elbow |
