Summary

This study tested whether adding a blood flow restriction tourniquet to standard physical therapy helps people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) more than therapy alone. 41 adults participated, and researchers measured pain and function changes over 12 months. The goal was to see if this simple addition could ease symptoms and improve daily activities.
