The aim of the present intervention is to determine the effectiveness of the application of tissue flossing in patients with tennis elbow
The application of tissue flossing has been deemed to provide beneficial results in patients with ankle range of motion limitation. Although, tissue flossing is widely extended among athletes due to its effectiveness in pain, function and range of motion, the evidence is limited.
The aim of the present protocol is to determine the effectiveness of tissue flossing in patients with tennis elbow.

Start is estimated for Feb 2019; primary completion for Mar 2019, 1 month later.
Of 147 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Tennis Elbow, half reached primary completion within 8 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 24. This study's planned 1 month is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 150 studies reached it within 9 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 22.
