Arm and elbow exercises for a sore tennis elbow
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two exercise programs to see which helps people with long-lasting pain on one elbow (tennis elbow). If you have symptoms for at least 3 months, the trial may help improve pain and function using supervised, elbow-focused training.

This study tests a combination of treatments (multimodal rehabilitation) for people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) that has lasted at least 2 months. It aims to see if this approach helps reduce pain and improve function.
This study compares two elbow treatments for tennis elbow: a re-education exercise program and a friction massage. It aims to see which better reduces pain and improves function.
This study compares two exercise programs for long-term tennis elbow (pain for more than a year). One group does slow lowering exercises with a blood pressure cuff on the arm, and the other does standard resistance training.
