Active clinical trials for "Tennis Elbow"

the aim of the study is to determine whether a scapular strength exercise program combined with a conventional exercise program in epicondylar region in patients with lateral epicondylalgia produces statistically significant improvements in pain in the short and medium term compared to a conventional exercise program.

A randomized cross-over trial comparing the immediate effects of a wrist extensor exercise with and without blood flow restriction (BFR) on pain perception in patients with lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET).

This clinical trial aims to investigate the intra- and inter-rater reliability of pain pressure threshold algometry in lateral epicondylitis patients.

Open label randomized controlled trial comparing evidenced based physical/occupational therapy vs. physical/occupational therapy including blood flow restriction tourniquet in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow).

Trial Design: The Norwegian Tennis Elbow (NOTE) study is a single-centre; three-armed, feasibility randomised controlled trial. Aim: The primary aim of this study is to pilot the methods proposed to conduct a definite RCT study. Objectives: Measure the process of recruitment. Measure intervention adherence and acceptability. Measure outcome measure retention rate and completeness. The Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) will be used as the primary outcome measure. Intervention: Patients will be randomised to either: 1) Heavy slow resistance training (HSR), 2) Radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) or 3) Information and advice. Follow-up will be after 3 and 6 months.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of using a percussive therapy device in addition to physical therapy to treat acute tennis elbow

Comparison between 2 groups of chronic lateral epicondylitis, to determine the effect of ozonated media phonophoresis on chronic lateral epicondylitis.

Evaluation of the applying a stretching protocol to lateral epicondylitis.

Lateral epicondylitis (LE), also known as tennis elbow, has an estimated prevalence in the general population of 1% to 3%, peaking at age 45 years to 54 years and affect both men and women equally. A randomised controlled trial published in The Lancet showed that 83% of the patients suffering from LE of more than 6 weeks duration on wait-and-see policy recovered only after 1 year without any therapeutic interventions. The costs associated with LE is substantial as patients not only incur hefty healthcare costs but also lose their productivity owing to their long recovery period. Currently, there is a paucity of evidence worldwide for the efficacy of PRP injections compared to control in LE. This randomised controlled trial aims to compare the efficacy of PRP versus placebo (saline) injections in adults with LE.

The study will address the gaps in the pain experience measurement in those with lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET) by building on the current body of literature, as well as applying modern pain science measures. The comprehensive measurement of various biomedical, psychological, and psychosocial constructs will provide pain profiles that will allow for the subclassification of LET to better inform loading prescriptions based on the systemic effects from LET.
