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.
