LATERAL EPICONDYLITIS

This study looked at 50 people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) to see if special ultrasound methods can better show tendon damage and match the patient's symptoms. Researchers compared different ultrasound techniques to standard exams. The goal was to improve how doctor…

This study tested whether adding a needle-based treatment called percutaneous electrolysis to a 2-week exercise program helps people with chronic tennis elbow more than exercise alone. Sixty-eight adults with MRI-confirmed tennis elbow for at least 3 months took part. The goal wa…

This study compared two common treatments for tennis elbow: a wrist splint and kinesiotaping. 150 adults with elbow pain for at least 3 months took part. Both groups also did cold therapy and home exercises. The goal was to see which approach better reduces pain and improves grip…

This study tested whether combining two physical therapy techniques—muscle energy technique and Mulligan mobilization—works better than standard therapy alone for tennis elbow. Forty adults with elbow pain for at least 6 weeks took part. The goal was to reduce pain and improve da…

This study tested two non-invasive treatments for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) in 60 adults aged 18-65 who had pain for at least 3 months. One group received extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), another received phonophoresis (ultrasound with anti-inflammatory gel), …

This study looked at whether adding scapular (shoulder blade) strengthening exercises to standard physical therapy helps people with chronic tennis elbow. Thirty adults with long-lasting elbow pain were split into two groups: one got standard therapy alone, the other added scapul…

This study tested whether adding blood flow restriction to low-load exercise helps people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) recover better than exercise alone. Fifty-eight adults with recent tennis elbow did supervised exercises twice a week for six weeks, with one group …

This early study tested whether a low, non-antibiotic dose of doxycycline could help people with tennis elbow (elbow tendinopathy). The goal was to see if patients would take the medication as prescribed and if it might reduce pain and improve function. Twenty-one adults with elb…

This study tested three treatments for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) in 27 adults over 6 weeks. One group did light wrist exercises with a blood flow restriction cuff, another did heavier eccentric exercises, and a third only wore a wrist brace and stretched. The goal was …

This study tested two physical therapy methods—Mobilization with Movement and Cyriax techniques—in 56 athletes with tennis elbow. Participants received treatment five times a week for four weeks. Researchers measured pain, grip strength, and joint position sense to see which meth…
