Can shock waves or electrotherapy ease Menopause-Linked tennis elbow?

This trial tests whether a combination of electrotherapy (low-level laser and interferential current) or shock wave therapy, alongside stretching and strengthening exercises, can reduce pain and improve grip strength in menopausal women with tennis elbow. The study includes 45 women aged 45–55 who have had symptoms for at least three months. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups: electrotherapy plus exercise, shock wave therapy plus exercise, or exercise alone. The goal is to see which approach offers the most relief for this common elbow condition, which may be worsened by declining estrogen levels during menopause.
