One of the best treatments for tennis elbow is heavy icing.

There is no financial incentive for anyone to tell you that.

I've tried this product. It exacerbated my tennis elbow.

I don't understand the "the our product was so successful we were forced to end trials" argument. How long is the trial? 4 weeks? How big is the control group? 8 people? Is it really unethical to have the control group wait a few weeks to start using the effective treatment? This sounds like the exact argument that a snake oil salesman would use.
