First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 33 times
Summary
This study aims to see how often dry needling actually reaches the correct forearm muscles in people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). Researchers will use ultrasound to check needle placement after a blinded procedure. About 40 adults with elbow pain for at least 6 weeks and active trigger points will take part. The goal is to understand accuracy, not to provide treatment.
