Shock Wave Therapy for Chronic Tennis Elbow
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if shock wave therapy can help people with long-term tennis elbow (pain on the outside of the elbow lasting more than 3 months). The treatment is a non-invasive option that may reduce pain and improve function.

This study compares two treatments for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) that hasn't gotten better with simple care: one uses sound waves (ESWT) and the other uses a small injection of ozone gas. The goal is to see which works better for pain and function.
This study tests whether a type of shockwave treatment, guided by how the body's connective tissue works, can help people with long-lasting tennis elbow (pain on the outside of the elbow). If you've had elbow pain for at least 3 months and the pain gets worse with certain movements, this trial might be for you.
