Clinical Trial Summary

The concept of epicondylitis refers to the manifestation of pain ni the area of insertation of the epicondile muscles, and that it is accompained by limitation funcional.A tendinopathy is characterized as a process of degenaration, with fibroblast proliferation and disorganization of the fibers of collagen. This tendon pathology especially affects the epicondyle extensors and especially the first and second radial and short extensor carpal.


Description:

Eccentric exercises of the epicondyle muscles were performed in 3 sets of 10 repetitions. Participants were asked to perform the exercise program on an individual basis twice every day for 4 weeks. The eccentric program consisted of 3 exercises, focusing on the epicondyle muscles. Participants were asked to do a normal flexion extension (concentric phase) and a slow return to the initial position (eccentric phase) included first the concentric phase, and the eccentric phase was slowly conducted. The exercise program was taught by a physiotherapist in the first session and monitored in the subsequent sessions.

Primary The intensity of pain in epicondylitis A 10-point Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS; 0: no pain, 10: maximum pain) will be used to assess the patients' current level of elbow pain, and the worst and lowest level of pain experienced in the preceding week in the elbow area. Baseline
Secondary The intensity of pain in epicondylitis A 10-point Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS; 0: no pain, 10: maximum pain) will be used to assess the patients' current level of elbow pain, and the worst and lowest level of pain experienced in the preceding week in the elbow area. Four and twelve weeks
Secondary Active elbow range of motion Measured by a two branches egoniomter Baseline,four and twelve weeks
Secondary Pressure pain thresholds in epicondylitis trigger points Pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) will be measured with a pressure algometer (Baseline) Baseline, four and twelve weeks
Secondary Questionnaire SF 12 The multidimensional health related quality of life Baseline,four and twelve weeks
