Ultrasound study for extra tendon spots in tennis elbow
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to check for extra inflammation spots in people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). It may help clarify why some people have ongoing elbow pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have tenderness when pressing on the outside bony part of your elbow.
- Pain gets worse when you straighten your wrist against resistance.
- You have never had a rheumatologic disease (like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus).
- You have never had surgery on your elbow, knee, or ankle.
- You have not had corticosteroid shots in your elbow, knee, or ankle.
- You have no nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) or recent elbow injury.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares several simple physical exams and an ultrasound test to see how well they can diagnose a common elbow problem called lateral elbow tendinopathy (tennis elbow). If you have pain on the outside of your elbow, this research might help confirm what is causing it.
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 study compares two exercise programs to see which helps people with long-lasting pain on one elbow (tennis elbow). If you have symptoms for at least 3 months, the trial may help improve pain and function using supervised, elbow-focused training.
This study looks at whether simple blood tests (for sugar and fats) can help understand tennis elbow, a common cause of elbow pain. It compares people with tennis elbow to healthy people to see if there are differences.
This study uses ultrasound imaging to check the effects of a simple needle treatment (dry needling) on elbow pain. It may help find if this treatment reduces pain from trigger points in the forearm.
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.
