A total of 28 patients with haemophilic elbow arthropathy was recruited in 3 cities in Spain. Patients received one-fascial therapy session per week for 3 weeks. The dependent variables were: frequency of joint bleeding, joint pain (visual analogue score) and joint status (Hemophilia Joint Health Score). Outcomes were measured at baseline (T0), post-treatment (T1) and after 3 months' follow-up (T2). Using Student's t-test, the means obtained in the evaluations were compared. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) test of repeated measures provided the intra-subject effect. The chosen level of significance was p < 0.05.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 28 patients were recruited according to the selection criteria. No joint bleeding occurred during or after the intervention. The primary outcome, frequency of bleeding, improved after intervention (<i>p</i> <0.001). The secondary variables joint status and joint pain improved after the experimental period (<i>p</i> <0.001). There were significant changes in the repeated measures factor in the frequency of haemarthrosis (F = 20.61; <i>p</i> = 0.00), joint status (F = 64.11; <i>p</i> = 0.00) and perceived pain (F = 33.15; <i>p</i> = 0.00).<h4>Conclusion</h4>Manual therapy using fascial therapy did not produce haemarthrosis in patients with haemophilic elbow arthropathy. Fascial therapy can improve the perception of pain and joint state,maintaining this improvement after a follow-up period of 3 months.Journal of rehabilitation medicine.
