Back therapy may beat brace for tennis elbow pain
NCT ID NCT07113912
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested two simple treatments for tennis elbow (lateral elbow tendinopathy) in 40 adults aged 18-55 with pain lasting over 3 months. One group received a forearm brace, the other got a hands-on therapy that mobilizes the upper back. Researchers measured pain using a standard scale. The goal was to see which approach works better for easing discomfort.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to ease tennis elbow pain without a brace.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 40 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is a manual therapy technique, which depends on the therapist's skill.
