Magnetotherapy with cold and exercise for tennis elbow
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if combining magnetotherapy (using magnetic fields) with cold packs and exercise helps reduce pain and improve function in people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). It may be a good option if you have had elbow pain for a while and haven't had recent treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis).
- You have tenderness when the doctor presses on the outer part of your elbow.
- At least one special test (like Cozen's, Mill's, or Maudsley's) causes pain.
- You do not have a pacemaker or other electronic implant, are not pregnant, and haven't had elbow surgery, physical therapy, or a corticosteroid injection in the last 3 to 12 months.

This study tests whether a non-invasive magnet treatment (magnetotherapy) can reduce pain and improve hand function in people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have this condition and haven't had surgery or certain recent treatments, this may be a drug-free option to explore.
This study tests whether a new type of electrical stimulation (called SIS) combined with exercise and education helps people with tennis elbow recover faster. You would attend therapy sessions and follow a home exercise plan.
This study compares two gentle hand-on treatments (mobilization and myofascial release) for tennis elbow. It aims to see which one works better for reducing pain and improving function.
This study tests whether a type of shockwave treatment, guided by how the body's connective tissue works, can help people with long-lasting tennis elbow (pain on the outside of the elbow). If you've had elbow pain for at least 3 months and the pain gets worse with certain movements, this trial might be for you.
This trial tests whether adding deep friction massage to eccentric training exercises helps people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). It may offer a more effective treatment for chronic elbow pain without surgery or injections.
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.
