Shockwave therapy for tennis elbow based on fascial theory
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had pain on the outside of your elbow for 3 months or more.
- The pain is felt when pressing on that spot or when doing certain wrist and finger movements, like resisting someone pushing your hand up or back.
- You are between 18 and 65 years old and are fairly active.
- You do not have other conditions like a torn tendon, arthritis, nerve problems, or certain diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis).
- You have not had physical therapy or steroid shots for your elbow in the last 3 months.

This study compares two non-surgical treatments for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): extracorporeal shock wave therapy and low-level laser therapy. Both treatments aim to reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic elbow pain caused by overuse.
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 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.
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 lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow): shockwave therapy and eccentric exercises. It aims to see which approach works better for reducing pain and improving arm function.
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.
