Blood flow restriction training for tennis elbow
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding blood flow restriction training to physical therapy can improve grip strength and wrist movement for people with recent tennis elbow. It aims to find a better way to recover from this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a special type of strength training that temporarily limits blood flow to the arm can help treat tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). It may be an option for people who have tried physical therapy without success.
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.
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.
This study tests whether specific wrist and shoulder exercises can reduce pain and improve grip strength in people with tennis elbow (pain on the outside of the elbow). You'd do resistance exercises and stabilization work to see if they help you regain function.
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 trial tests whether combining eccentric exercises with muscle energy technique can help reduce pain and improve function in people with tennis elbow. It is for those who have had symptoms for more than a few weeks.
