Shockwave vs Ozone Injection for Tennis Elbow
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) that hasn't gotten better with simple care: one uses sound waves (ESWT) and the other uses a small injection of ozone gas. The goal is to see which works better for pain and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 compares two nonsurgical treatments for chronic tennis elbow: shockwave therapy and high-intensity laser therapy. It aims to see which works better for pain and function without surgery or injections.
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 trial compares two treatments for tennis elbow: mesotherapy (injections into the skin) and shock wave therapy (sound waves). It aims to find which works better for pain that has lasted at least 6 weeks.
