NCT ID NCT07634224
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special energy therapy called TECAR, combined with exercise, can reduce pain and improve function in people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). Sixty-two adults with elbow pain for at least 6 weeks will receive either real or sham TECAR therapy plus a home exercise program. Researchers will measure pain and function before, right after, and at 1 and 2 months after treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
TECAR therapy (capacitive and resistive energy transfer) plus exercise
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a non-invasive, drug-free option to reduce pain and improve function in people with tennis elbow.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 62 participants. The sham control may show no added benefit over exercise alone, and results may not apply to everyone.
