Tyler Twist vs. Eccentric Exercises for Tennis Elbow
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two exercise approaches for treating lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) in people aged 20–40. It tests whether a specific twisting exercise called the Tyler Twist works better than eccentric exercises (where you lengthen a muscle under tension) to reduce pain and improve grip strength.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 40 years old
- You have tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) that has been present for weeks to months, not just started recently
- Your elbow pain is at least moderate (4 out of 10) when you use your arm
- You have tenderness on the outside of your elbow bone and pain when gripping or straightening your wrist against resistance
- You have not had a corticosteroid injection in your elbow within the last 3 months

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 types of physical therapy—sustained stretching and mobilization with movement—to see which one helps people with long-standing tennis elbow (at least 4–6 months) feel better and use their arm more easily.
This study compares two exercise programs for long-term tennis elbow (pain for more than a year). One group does slow lowering exercises with a blood pressure cuff on the arm, and the other does standard resistance training.
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.
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 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.
