What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of eccentric training combined with blood flow restriction (ECC+BFR) versus heavy slow resistance (HSR) training in patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis. The study will recruit 40 participants (accounting for 10% attrition), aged 25-45 years, from Sakina Memorial Hospital Sheikhupura and University of Lahore Teaching Hospital using convenience sampling. Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups: an interventional group receiving ECC+BFR and a control group undergoing HSR training. Both interventions will be administered three times per week for 8 weeks under professional supervision. Outcome measures including pain intensity (NPRS), patient-specific functional performance (PSFS), muscle strength, and hypertrophy will be assessed at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks. Data will be analyzed using SPSS, with
