Electric stimulation plus exercise for tennis elbow
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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 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.
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 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 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.
