Lateral elbow pain is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder in the working population due to overuse of the upper limb. This pathology has serious consequences for health, work performance and overall health burden. In this injury, as in any musculoskeletal disorder, the peripheral nervous system is involved. Because of its course and corresponding motor and sensory innervation in the area, the radial nerve should be taken into consideration as a structure involved in elbow pain. The aim of the present study is to demonstrate which of the neurodynamic techniques is more effective in lateral epicondylalgia, neural tension techniques or neural mobilization techniques.
