Eccentric exercise therapy for medial epicondylitis: A systematic review of clinical outcomes

Current evidence suggests that eccentric exercise may reduce pain and improve function in medial epicondylitis, particularly when incorporated into multimodal conservative management. However, the overall certainty of evidence remains low, and larger high-quality randomized trials are required to confirm these findings.

However, the overall certainty of evidence remains low, and larger high-quality randomized trials are required to confirm these findings.
