Blood flow restriction training for tennis elbow
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis).
- Your symptoms have lasted more than 6 weeks but less than 12 months.
- You have tried physical therapy and it did not help enough.
- You have no other elbow problems like golfer's elbow or arthritis.
- You have not had any injections (like cortisone) into your elbow before.
- Your symptoms are not caused by a recent injury or accident.

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 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 a training technique called blood flow restriction (BFR) that may help strengthen the elbow's ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) using light exercise with a cuff. It is for healthy adults who want to try a new way to potentially reduce injury risk.
This trial tests whether doing elastic band exercises while using a special band to limit blood flow can help tennis players get stronger. It is for young tennis players who train regularly.
This study tests a training method that uses light blood flow restriction to improve leg muscle structure. It is for young athletes (ages 15–35) who play high-level sports like martial arts, basketball, soccer, or futsal at least twice a week.
This study tests using a blood pressure cuff during hand therapy to see if it helps reduce ulnar-sided wrist pain and improve hand function.
