Eccentric exercises and muscle energy for tennis elbow
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have tennis elbow (pain on the outside of the elbow that gets worse when you press on it or do certain movements like lifting or gripping).
- Your symptoms have lasted more than 3 weeks.
- You are willing to take part in the study and follow the exercise program.
- You have not had a steroid injection for tennis elbow in the last 3 to 6 months.
- You do not have other conditions like nerve problems, recent fracture or surgery, arthritis, or infection in the arm.

This study tests whether a special energy-based therapy (called capacitive and resistive energy transfer) can reduce pain and improve function in people with tennis elbow—a common overuse injury of the outer elbow. You'll receive this non-invasive treatment and have your progress tracked over time.
This trial tests whether a treatment called iontophoresis (using a mild electrical current to deliver medicine through the skin) can reduce pain in people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). If you have had elbow pain for at least 4 weeks and have not had recent treatments like injections or surgery, this study may be an option.
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 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 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 tests a combination of treatments (multimodal rehabilitation) for people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) that has lasted at least 2 months. It aims to see if this approach helps reduce pain and improve function.
