Efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave therapy and nutraceutical supplementation in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis: a randomized controlled trial

This study tested three different treatment approaches for tennis elbow (pain in the outer elbow), a common condition affecting the forearm muscles.

The results showed that combining all three treatments was most effective, providing the best pain relief, functional improvement, and grip strength recovery within 30 days. The findings suggest that combining different treatment approaches may work better together than using them separately.

These findings suggest that prebiotic supplements may be particularly beneficial for women’s muscle health, though more research is needed to understand why this sex difference exists.
