Comparing the Effectiveness of the 'Think in Nerve Length and Layers' (TINLL) Approach to Traditional Treatment for Patients With Lateral Elbow Pain.
NCT07385677 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Lateral elbow pain can significantly limit people's ability to do the activities they want or need to do. We want to explore if one treatment technique is better than another for people with lateral elbow pain. You will be placed in a traditional treatment group or in a non-traditional treatment group. Your placement in the group will depend on past treatments you have had for this pain. Before you start treatment, you will be given four tests: 1) a grip strength test, 2) a pinch test, 3) a pain level survey, and 4) a functional survey. These four tests will take no longer than 15 minutes to complete. These four tests are common tests given to people with elbow pain. You will be given these four tests: * At the beginning, before you start treatment * At 2-weeks * At 4-weeks * At the end of your treatment Traditional treatment group: You will receive treatment 1x/week for 4-6 weeks. The traditional treatment group will consist of the following treatments: * stretching and strengthening of the wrist extensors * soft tissue work to the forearm muscles * joint mobilization at the elbow * rigid and elastic taping with focus on the wrist extensor muscles * ergonomic strategies * transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) * wrist splinting Non-traditional (TINLL) treatment group: You will receive treatment 1x/every 1-2-weeks for 4-6 weeks. The non-traditional (TINLL) treatment group will consist of the following treatments: * joint and tendon mobilization at the elbow * elastic tape for muscles and nerves * stretching/strengthening of the muscles at the elbow and upper arm * ergonomic strategies

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07385677
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07385677 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 68 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Vermont, which has 107 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy (Tennis Elbow) appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which TINLL techniques for relieving radial nerve tension is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT07385677 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Vermont. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
