NCT ID NCT07722845

First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study investigates what factors — such as pain intensity, fear of movement, and confidence in managing pain — influence how adults with chronic tennis elbow perceive their illness and what they expect from treatment. Researchers will survey 137 participants and analyze the data to identify the strongest predictors. The goal is to better understand the patient's perspective, which could eventually help doctors personalize care.
