This large real-world study is testing whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections can reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic tendinopathies, including patellar, Achilles, elbow, and plantar fasciitis. Researchers will follow 2000 participants for 12 months, tr…

This study aims to determine how accurate physical tests and ultrasound are for diagnosing tennis elbow (lateral elbow tendinopathy). Researchers will compare these methods in 100 adults with elbow pain to see which works best. The goal is to find a reliable, non-invasive diagnos…

This trial tests whether adding blood flow restriction therapy to standard shock wave therapy improves pain, grip strength, and arm function in people with lateral epicondylitis, commonly known as tennis elbow. Participants receive either the combined treatment or shock wave ther…

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 wo…

This study looks at whether adding a special type of exercise (eccentric exercises) to a muscle relaxation technique (muscle energy technique) can help people with tennis elbow feel less pain and use their arm better. About 66 adults with tennis elbow will be split into three gro…

This study compares two noninvasive treatments—shock wave therapy and low-level laser therapy—for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). Fifty adults with at least six weeks of elbow pain will receive one of the treatments plus a brace and exercises. Researchers will measure pain,…

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 p…

This study compares two types of shock wave therapy (radial vs focal) to a placebo for treating long-term tennis elbow pain. Fifty adults with elbow pain lasting more than 3 months will receive three weekly sessions. Researchers will measure pain, grip strength, and disability ov…

This study compares doing physical therapy at home via video calls (telerehabilitation) versus going to a clinic for in-person sessions. Researchers want to see if remote therapy can reduce pain and improve function just as well for people with medial epicondylitis, also known as…

This study compares two treatments for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) in 90 adults aged 18-70 who have had pain for at least 6 months. One treatment is open surgery to remove damaged tissue; the other uses a needle with ultrasonic energy to break up and suction out the dama…

This study compares wrist heavy slow resistance exercises with shoulder stabilization exercises to see which better reduces pain and improves grip strength in people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). Thirty-two adults aged 30-50 with elbow pain for at least 2 weeks will …

This study will follow 10,000 adults with common joint or tendon problems—like knee arthritis, tennis elbow, or plantar fasciitis—who choose to receive a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection. PRP is made from a patient's own blood, spun to concentrate healing factors. Participant…

This study compares two common treatments for tennis elbow: shockwave therapy and eccentric exercises. Fifty adults with tennis elbow will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups and treated three times a week for five weeks. Researchers will measure pain, grip strength, ra…

This study compares two treatments for people with long-lasting tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) that hasn't improved with standard care. Fifty adults will receive either shock wave therapy or an ozone injection once a week for three weeks. Researchers will measure pain, elbo…

This study tests whether mesotherapy (injecting a mix of medicines into the skin) works as well as shock wave therapy for tennis elbow. Fifty adults with elbow pain for at least 6 weeks will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. Researchers will measure pain, grip st…

This study tests if a special exercise program (eccentric training with blood flow restriction) works better than standard resistance training for people with long-term tennis elbow pain. Forty adults aged 25-45 with symptoms lasting over a year will do one of the two programs th…

This study tests whether a new treatment approach called TINLL (Think in Nerve Length and Layers) works better than traditional therapy for tennis elbow. 68 adults with lateral elbow pain will be assigned to either TINLL or standard care based on their past treatments. Both group…

This study tests whether a high or low dose of high-intensity laser therapy works better for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). Researchers will measure pain, grip strength, and quality of life in 45 adults over a short period. The goal is to find the most effective dose for t…

This study looks at whether adding scapular (shoulder blade) stabilization exercises to standard shock wave therapy can reduce pain and improve strength and quality of life in people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). Researchers will enroll 48 adults aged 18-65 who have …

This study tests whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the elbow can reduce pain and improve function in people with tennis elbow that hasn't gotten better with other treatments. 240 adults will receive either PRP with white blood cells, PRP without white blood cells,…

This study tests whether blood flow restriction (BFR) training can reduce pain and improve elbow function in people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) who haven't gotten better with physical therapy. Forty adults will either receive BFR training or a sham treatment during …

Lateral epicondylitis, often called tennis elbow, causes pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow and can linger despite treatment. Researchers are comparing 128 people with chronic lateral epicondylitis to healthy controls to see whether those with elbow pain have lower p…

This study at Hashemite University looks at how people with and without tennis elbow feel pressure pain and how their bodies briefly turn down pain after a cold stimulus. Participants answer short questionnaires and have their pressure-pain threshold tested with a handheld device…

This study looks at 139 adults with chronic tennis elbow who recently received a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection. Researchers want to find out how many people respond to PRP and what factors—like age, job, or health history—might predict a good outcome. Participants are foll…

This study uses ultrasound to look for hidden tendon inflammation in people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and compare them to healthy volunteers. Researchers will examine 60 participants to see if those with tennis elbow have more widespread tendon issues. The goal is…
