Effectiveness of Manual Therapy & Strengthening Exercises in Hemophilic

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Manual treatment involves techniques based on the principles of moving the joint faces and separating the joint gap, and soft tissues mobilization techniques. The use of manual therapy in hemophilia is gradually increasing although it previously described as a contraindication. The utility and use of strengthening exercises in hemophilia has been going on for a long time. In this study, the effect of manual therapy and strengthening exercises joint was investigated in hemophilic arthropathy of the elbow.

Clinical Trial Description

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of strengthening exercises and manual therapy on bleeding frequency, pain, range of motion, muscle strength, arm circumference, joint health, functionality and quality of life in the physiotherapy and rehabilitation of hemophilic arthropathy of the elbow. Seventeen adolescent and young adult hemophilic individuals aged 12-30 years with elbow arthropathy were included in the study. The individuals were divided into the two groups via simple randomisation as Manuel Therapy and Exercise Group (MTEG) and Home Exercise Group (HEG). The individuals in HEG were given strengthening exercises as a home program. Those in the MTEG were applied manual therapy by the physiotherapist and were given supervised strengthening exercises. All treatments were performed 3 times a week for 5 weeks totally 15 sessions. Frequency of bleeding was evaluated with number of bleeding in the last 5 weeks. Numerical Pain Scale was used for activity and resting pain. Range of motion and muscle strength were measured with universal goniometer and digital dynamometer, respectively. The Quick-DASH questionnaire and Oxford Elbow Score were used for the functionality of the upper extremity and quality of life, respectively. The joint health status was evaluated with Hemophilia Joint Health Score-Elbow Point and Hospital for Special Surgery-Elbow Scoring System. Evaluations were made by the same physiotherapist before and after treatment. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
