The Effect of Tendon Tears on Lateral Epicondylitis

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Common extensor tendon (CET) tears that can be detected with ultrasonography (US) may be associated with worsening clinical and other ultrasonographic parameters in patients with LE. In this retrospective evaluation of patients with lateral epicondylitis (LE), the effect of common extensor tendon (CET) tears revealed by ultrasonography (US) with demographic, clinical, and other US findings was investigated.

Clinical Trial Description

The files of 227 patients with LE who applied to Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were reviewed retrospectively. The demographic characteristics of the patients were recorded. First of all, common extensor tendon tears, if it existed, were demonstrated with ultrasonography. Then, primary and secondary outcome measures were performed. Maximum tendon thickness measurements (capitellar - radiocapitellar) and the presence of bone abnormality were detected with ultrasonography of the lateral epicondyle region of the humerus. The VAS was used to assess pain and was evaluated separately for pain at rest (VAS-rest), at night (VAS-night), and during ADL (VAS-ADL). Force was applied on the lateral epicondyle using a standard pressure algometer (Baseline®) to evaluate the patient's sensitivity to pain. The pressure at which the patient first felt pain and the average value in kg/cm2 (repeated three times) were recorded. PRTEE consists of two sub-sections (pain and function): the severity of pain in the elbow and functional deficiencies. The Turkish version of the PRTEE questionnaire was used The hand dynamometer (JAMAR®) was used to assess the hand grip strength. The patient was positioned with sitting, shoulder adduction, elbow 90° flexion, and forearm in a position between supination and pronation. The average value in kilogram-force (repeated three times). Between repeated measures 1-minute resting, periods were given. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
