Nerve stretches may soothe tennis elbow pain
NCT ID NCT07027059
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether special nerve exercises can help reduce pain and sensitivity in people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). About 30 adults will be split into two groups: one gets standard care plus shockwave therapy, the other adds nerve mobilization exercises. The goal is to see if these exercises improve pain and how the brain processes it.
