Objective To explore an effective method for treatment of tennis elbow. Methods One hundred and twenty-eight cases were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, 64 cases in each group.

Results The cured rate and the effective rate were 40.6% and 93.7% in the treatment group, and 25.0% and 78.1% in the control group, respectively, with a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Electroacupuncture combined with cake-separated moxibustion is an effective method for tennis elbow.
