Clinical Trial Summary

Decathlon has developed the Elbow soft300 which is a medical device that must be positioned around the elbow to keep a physical activity on a regular basis in case of chronic epicondylitis, pain associated with tendonitis or chronic instability. The objective of this multicentre study is to collect data on the related clinical complications and clinical outcomes of market-approved Decathlon Elbow soft 300 product to demonstrate safety and performance of this device in a real-world setting. Outcome data collected from this study will provide the basis for Post-Market Surveillance (PMS) reporting, Clinical Study Report (CSR), Clinical Evaluation Report (CER) on Decathlon ElbowSoft300 device and support peer-reviewed publications on products performance and safety.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue

Secondary	Confidence level (confidence questionnaire related to physical activity)	Gap in the confidence level related to physical activity (6-item questionnaire with a global score from 0=worst outcome to 100=best outcome), between the baseline and last follow-up visit in each group (orthosis vs control)	Change from Baseline confidence level at 6 weeks
Secondary	Elbow pain	Comparison of elbow pain, assessed through a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) ranging from 0=best outcome to 10=worst outcome, between the groups (orthosis vs control)	Change from Baseline elbow pain at 6 weeks
Secondary	Elbow instability	Comparison of elbow instability, assessed through a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) ranging from 0=best outcome to 10=worst outcome, between the groups (orthosis vs control)	Change from Baseline elbow instability at 6 weeks
