Summary

This study looks at whether adding shock wave therapy to exercise helps people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) more than exercise alone. About 60 adults with tennis elbow will be assigned to either exercise only or exercise plus shock wave therapy. The main goal is to see if the combination reduces pain and improves grip strength and arm function after 8 weeks.
