ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment method called vibrotactile stimulation for people with lateral epicondylitis, commonly known as tennis elbow. The goal is to see if this type of vibration therapy can help reduce pain, improve sensation, and enhance the overall function of the affected arm. The trial is currently recruiting participants aged 18 to 65 who have been diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis. However, individuals who have had elbow surgery, or who have certain medical conditions affecting their arm or nervous system, are not eligible to join.

If you participate in this study, you can expect to receive vibrotactile stimulation during your treatment sessions. The trial aims to understand how this therapy can impact your pain and ability to use your arm. It's a great opportunity to contribute to research that could help others with similar conditions in the future.
