Chronic lateral humeral epicondylitis -- a double-blind controlled assessment of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy . Pulsed electromagnetic fields ( PEMF ) have been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of rotator cuff tendinitis . As lateral humeral epicondylitis ( tennis elbow ) is a similar chronic tendon lesion , 30 patients with both clinical and thermographic evidence of tennis elbow were randomly allocated to receive either active or inactive PEMF therapy . Treatment was continued for a minimum period of eight weeks . At this time there was no statistical difference between the two groups .
