LATERAL EPICONDYLITIS

This study looked at 50 people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) to see if special ultrasound methods can show how bad the tendon damage is. Researchers compared different ultrasound techniques with the patients' symptoms. The goal was to find better ways to diagnose and …

This study tested three treatments for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) in 27 adults over 6 weeks. One group did light wrist exercises with a blood flow restriction cuff, another did heavier eccentric exercises, and a third only wore a wrist brace and stretched. The goal was …

This study tested whether combining two physical therapy techniques—muscle energy technique and Mulligan mobilization—works better than standard care for tennis elbow. Forty adults with elbow pain for at least six weeks took part. The goal was to reduce pain and improve daily fun…

This study tested whether adding a procedure called percutaneous electrolysis (using a tiny needle and mild electrical current) to a 2-week exercise program helps people with chronic tennis elbow more than exercise alone. 68 adults with elbow pain lasting at least 3 months took p…

This study tested two physical therapy methods—Mobilization with Movement and Cyriax techniques—in 56 athletes with tennis elbow. Participants received treatment five times a week for four weeks. Researchers measured pain, grip strength, and joint position sense to see which meth…

This study tested whether a low-dose antibiotic called doxycycline could help treat tennis elbow (a painful elbow condition). 21 adults with elbow pain lasting 6 weeks or more took the medication twice daily for 12 weeks, along with exercise. The main goal was to see if patients …

This study tested two common treatments for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): a wrist splint and kinesiotaping. 150 adults with elbow pain lasting at least 3 months were included. The goal was to see which method better reduces pain and improves grip strength. Results help gu…

This study looked at whether adding shoulder blade (scapular) strengthening exercises to standard treatment could reduce pain and improve grip strength in people with long-term tennis elbow. Thirty adults with chronic lateral epicondylitis were split into two groups: one received…

This study tested whether doing light exercises with a blood flow restriction cuff (a device that gently limits blood flow to the arm) could improve pain and function in people with tennis elbow. Fifty-eight adults with recent tennis elbow did supervised exercises twice a week fo…

This study tested two treatments for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and phonophoresis (ultrasound with gel). Sixty adults with elbow pain for at least 3 months took part. Researchers measured pain, hand grip strength, daily function…
