Comparing two hand therapies for tennis elbow
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two gentle hand-on treatments (mobilization and myofascial release) for tennis elbow. It aims to see which one works better for reducing pain and improving function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a new type of electrical stimulation (called SIS) combined with exercise and education helps people with tennis elbow recover faster. You would attend therapy sessions and follow a home exercise plan.
This trial tests whether adding deep friction massage to eccentric training exercises helps people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). It may offer a more effective treatment for chronic elbow pain without surgery or injections.
This study tests if combining magnetotherapy (using magnetic fields) with cold packs and exercise helps reduce pain and improve function in people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). It may be a good option if you have had elbow pain for a while and haven't had recent treatments.
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 hands-on physical therapy technique called Mulligan mobilization can reduce pain and improve function in people with lateral elbow tendinopathy (often called tennis elbow). You'll receive treatment sessions and be compared to other participants to see if this approach works.
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.
