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.

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 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.
This study tests if using ultrasound to guide dry needling can help reduce pain from tennis elbow (pain on the outside of the elbow). It is for people who have had this pain for at least 6 weeks and have tender spots in their forearm muscles.
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 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 measures how sensitive your elbow is to pressure and how your body controls pain, comparing people with and without tennis elbow. It aims to understand pain processing in tennis elbow.
