Effects of myofascial release on frequency of joint bleedings, joint status, and joint pain in patients with hemophilic elbow arthropathy: A randomized, single-blind clinical trial
Medicine (Baltimore). 2021 May 21;100(20): e26025.Sixty-nine patients with hemophilic elbow arthropathy were included in this randomized controlled trial comparing 3 weeks of myofascial release therapy (n=35) to control (n=34) for the reduction of elbow joint hemarthrosis. The primary outcome of interest was the frequency of hemarthrosis. Secondary outcomes of interest included joint status on the hemophilia joint health score (HJHS) and joint pain on a visual analogue scale (VAS). Outcomes were assessed upon completion of the 3 week intervention and at 3 months follow up. Results revealed all outcomes to be in favour of the myofascial release group compared to the control group.
