First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a special injection (hyaluronic acid plus amino acids) combined with home exercises can help people with chronic tennis elbow more than exercises alone. Researchers will review records of 60 patients aged 18 to 70 who had elbow pain for at least 6 weeks. They will measure pain, grip strength, and function to see which approach works better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- hyaluronic acid and amino acid injection
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new injection option to reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic tennis elbow.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, retrospective study (60 people) that looks back at medical records, not a large controlled trial. Results may not apply to everyone, and the injection may not work better than exercise alone.
