Comparing injection treatments for tennis elbow pain
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares different injection treatments to reduce pain from tennis elbow (lateral epicondyle tendinosis) when symptoms have lasted more than 3 months. You might benefit if your clinician feels an injection is appropriate and you meet the study’s safety rules.

This study compares two types of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections—one with a lot of white blood cells and one without—against a placebo injection to see which works best for persistent tennis elbow. If other treatments haven't helped your elbow pain for at least 3 months, this trial might be a good option.
This trial tests an injection called iEVs for people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) that hasn't gotten better with physical therapy or anti-inflammatory drugs. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and helps reduce pain.
This trial tests whether a treatment called iontophoresis (using a mild electrical current to deliver medicine through the skin) can reduce pain in people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). If you have had elbow pain for at least 4 weeks and have not had recent treatments like injections or surgery, this study may be an option.
This trial compares two treatments for tennis elbow: mesotherapy (injections into the skin) and shock wave therapy (sound waves). It aims to find which works better for pain that has lasted at least 6 weeks.
This study compares two treatments for tennis elbow: scapular (shoulder blade) exercises and a type of shockwave therapy (ESWT). It aims to see which helps reduce pain and improve function better.
This study tests two treatments for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): shock wave therapy, which uses sound waves to help healing, and blood flow restriction therapy, which uses a cuff to increase blood flow during exercise. It aims to see if combining them works better than either alone, which might help reduce pain and improve your arm's function.
