Summary

This pilot, randomized, sham-controlled, single-blind study will evaluate the effectiveness of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) in reducing pain in adults with tennis/golfer's elbow or carpal tunnel syndrome. Approximately 40 participants will be randomly assigned to active or sham stimulation delivered over two consecutive days. Outcomes, including pressure pain threshold, subjective pain ratings, and local tissue oxygenation (fNIRS), will be assessed at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and during follow-up up to 6 months to evaluate both clinical effects and underlying physiological mechanisms.

Conditions

  • Tennis Elbow Syndrome
  • Golfer's Elbow
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)

Interventions

DEVICE

Two days Active rPMS

It is a magnetic coil with a device that creates electromagnetic pulses. The Real one gives pulses with 100% intensity.

DEVICE

Two days Sham rPMS

Sham coil gives very weak pulses off target that does not penetrate to the skin.
