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 elbow treatments for tennis elbow: a re-education exercise program and a friction massage. It aims to see which better reduces pain and improves function.
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 types of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections—one with a lot of white blood cells and one without—against a placebo injection to see which works best for persistent tennis elbow. If other treatments haven't helped your elbow pain for at least 3 months, this trial might be a good option.
This trial tests a special injection made from your own bone marrow to treat tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) that hasn't gotten better with standard treatments like rest, physical therapy, or corticosteroid shots. The goal is to see if this injection can help heal a small tear in the tendon and reduce pain.
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.
