Background: Lateral epicondylitis (LE) often benefits from eccentric training exercises, but combining them with deep friction massage (DFM) might enhance outcomes. Objective: To evaluate if adding DFM to eccentric training improves pain, function, wrist extensor strength, and hand grip strength more than eccentric training alone. Design: A triple-blinded, randomized controlled trial involving 46 participants aged 16-30 with unilateral LE. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either eccentric training plus sham massage (Control Group) or eccentric training plus DFM (Experimental Group) over 4 weeks. Methods: Outcomes will be measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire for function, a hand-held dynamometer for wrist extensor strength, and a grip dynamometer for hand grip strength. Blinding: The study is triple-blinded-assessors, statisticians, and participants are unaware of group allocations. Significance: This study aims to determine if DFM enhances the effectiveness of eccentric training in LE rehabilitation, potentially leading to improved treatment protocols.
