Vibration therapy for tennis elbow pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether gentle vibrations applied to the elbow can help reduce pain and improve function in people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). It compares the effects of this new therapy to standard care.

This study looks at how the nervous system might become more sensitive in people with long-lasting tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). It uses ultrasound to examine the elbow and may help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
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 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 tests whether a special energy-based therapy (called capacitive and resistive energy transfer) can reduce pain and improve function in people with tennis elbow—a common overuse injury of the outer elbow. You'll receive this non-invasive treatment and have your progress tracked over time.
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.
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.
