Shockwave therapy versus exercises for tennis elbow
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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 study tests whether specific wrist and shoulder exercises can reduce pain and improve grip strength in people with tennis elbow (pain on the outside of the elbow). You'd do resistance exercises and stabilization work to see if they help you regain 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.
This study tests a treatment called extracorporeal shockwave therapy (sound waves that help pain) based on a theory about connective tissue, to see if it helps persistent tennis elbow pain. If you have had this kind of elbow pain for 3 months or more, this treatment might offer relief.
This study compares two non-invasive treatments for long-lasting elbow pain (tennis elbow): shockwave therapy and high-intensity laser therapy. Both aim to reduce pain and improve your elbow function without surgery.
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 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.
