Comparing a new approach to usual care for lateral elbow pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if a new way of thinking about the nerves and layers in your arm (called TINLL) works better than usual therapy for people with pain on the outside of their elbow. It may help you get better faster.
