Summary

This study looks at whether using a blood flow restriction cuff during physical therapy can help people with tennis elbow feel less pain and recover faster. The trial plans to enroll 250 adults aged 18 to 65 with confirmed tennis elbow. Participants will either receive standard physical therapy or standard therapy plus the blood flow restriction device, and pain levels will be tracked.
