Comparing two therapies for tennis elbow in menopausal women
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a combination of electrical therapies or shock wave therapy works better for reducing pain and improving function in menopausal women with tennis elbow that has lasted at least 3 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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.
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 tests whether adding pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (a non-invasive treatment using magnetic energy) to standard shockwave therapy can improve elbow pain and function better than shockwave therapy alone. It is designed for people with long-lasting lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) who have not recently had injections or other physical treatments for their elbow.
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.
