Understanding pain sensitivity in tennis elbow
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how the nervous system might become more sensitive in people with long-lasting tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). It uses ultrasound to examine the elbow and may help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
