"Tennis elbow is a common disease that presents with pain and local tenderness around the common extensor origin of the elbow, and the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) has often been implicated as the major structure in tennis elbow . There are many methods could be used to treat the tennis elbow, but no one golden standard procedure was agreed by the all clinics. Based on the current literature reviewing and our therapeutic experience, we recommend several treatment modalities for tennis elbow. In the past, tennis elbow was proposed to be an inflammatory condition at common extensor origin of the elbow. In recent years, the repetitive of microtrauma and improper healing that occurs is thought to lead to tendinosis and eventual structural failure in tennis elbow. The treatment guideline changes with the alternation of pathophysiology of tennis elbow. Oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and steroid injection were still commonly used for a first line treatment, and they both provide some efficiently result. However, side effect of oral NSAIDs and steroid injection should be concerned, and some patients are not so effective. We will introduce other modalities to treat the tennis elbow under the medical evidence-based. "
