Tennis Elbow (or Lateral Epicondylalgia) is one of the most common overload injuries that it is the most frequent cause of lateral elbow pain, occurring to people between 40-60 years of age. It is characterized by pain on the outside of the elbow, usually near the lateral epicondyle bone where the extensor carpi Brevis tendon attaches, aggravated by gripping or wringing activities During menopause period, declining estrogen levels can negatively impact tendon health. Estrogen plays a protective role in tendons, contributing to their strength and ability to withstand load.
As estrogen decreases, tendons may become weaker, less resilient, and more susceptible to injury, potentially leading to conditions like tendinopathy. This can often add to these feelings of pain and limit of function ; and possibly limit your movements in day to day activities. Multimodal electrotherapy ( low level laser therapy plus interferential current) and extracorporeal shock wave therapy can be used to improve this problem.

1) forty five menopausel females suffer from chronic lateral epicondylitis from Department of out patient orthopedic clinic of 6 october hospital .

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Visual analogue scale
The VAS consists of a 10-cm line, with the left extremity indicating ''no pain'' and the right extremity indicating ''unbearable pain.'' Participants asked to use the scale to indicate their current level of pain Higher values suggest more intense pain ,It was found that VAS provide valid and reliable assessments for the affective magnitude, as well as the sensation intensity of pain.
Time frame: 6 weeks

Started Mar 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Aug 2026, 5 months after the start.
Of 152 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 5 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 154 studies reached it within 8 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 22.
