Summary
The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to investigate the effects of blood flow restriction training on the parameters surrounding tennis elbow afflicted patients including pain, disability, and grip strength. The main question this study aims to answer is: 1- Does blood flow restriction training offer significantly better effects on pain, disability, and grip strength when compared to conventional strength training without blood flow restriction in patients afflicted with tennis elbow? Research will compare two groups with tennis elbow where both will perform the same rehabilitation program consisting of conventional physical therapy for tennis elbow as well as a strength training program with the only difference being that one group will undergo blood flow restriction training while the other will not.

Interventions
The affected limb will have a cuff placed proximally and inflated to occlude the blood flow by 40% attested using a golden standard vascular doppler after which the individuals will perform the strengthening program set forth by the physical therapist. This is preceded by other tennis elbow interventions such as ultrasound, stretching, and deep friction massage at the extensor origin.
The individuals in this group will undergo the same conventional physical therapy program as the other group including ultrasound, stretching, and deep friction massage. In addition, they will undergo the same strengthening program set forth by the physical therapist however with no blood flow restriction of any kind.
