Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research is to compare two different approaches for treating patients with lateral epicondylalgia: electric dry needling, thrust manipulation and stretching versus impairment-based manual therapy, exercise and ultrasound. Physical therapists commonly use all of these techniques to treat lateral epicondyalgia. This study is attempting to find out if one treatment strategy is more effective than the other.


Clinical Trial Description

Patients with epicondyalgia will be randomized to receive 2 treatment sessions per week for 4 weeks (up to 8 sessions total) of either: (1) electric dry needling, thrust manipulation and stretching or (2) impairment-based manual therapy, exercise and ultrasound ;
