Lateral epicondylitis is the most common condition affecting the elbow and characterized by pain over the lateral epicondyle. The aim of this study was to determine and compare the efficacy of TENS and Kinesio Taping in lateral epicondylitis.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of continuous and pulsed ultrasound treatments in lateral epicondylitis and to compare the efficacy of these two treatments against each other and placebo. Patients and Methods: Fifty one patients diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis were included to the study. Patients were randomised to continuous ultrasound, pulsed ultrasound and placebo groups by using closed envelop method. First group received continuous ultrasound treatment. Second group received pulsed ultrasound treatment in proportion as. Third group received of placebo treatment. Resting and moving pain levels of the patients were evaluated by using visual analog scale. Muscle strength was evaluated by using dynamometer. For functional evaluation Duruoz's hand index and Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) scales were used. Evaluations were made at baseline, at the end of the therapy, and one month after the therapy. In addition, at baseline and at the end of the therapy, the thickness of the common extensor tendon was measured by using ultrasonic imaging (USG).
There is limited evidence of the efficacy of joint protection principles in individuals diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis in the literature. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of training of the telephone supported joint protection technique education on pain and upper extremity function in individuals with lateral epicondylitis. New information will be obtained according to the results.
This study evaluates the effects of a novel neurofeedback treatment on pain specific brainwaves in adults. Chronic pain patients enrolled in this study will be randomized into a treatment group and a sham group.
Lateral epicondylalgia is a common musculoskeletal condition that approximately affects 1-3% of the general population. Several authors have found greater mechanical pain sensitivity in the radial nerve when compared with healthy subjects. Radial tunnel syndrome exhibits a similar clinical presentation to lateral epicondylalgia. Percutaneous electrical stimulation has shown reduce pain in several conditions. Percutaneous electrical stimulation on the radial nerve could cause an important relief in lateral epicondylalgia. Hypothesis: Percutaneous electrical stimulation on radial nerve plus exercise therapy in patients with lateral epicondylalgia is better than sham percutaneous electrical stimulation plus exercise.
Lateral epicondylitis (LE) is a pain causing musculoskeletal disease which mainly occurs due to the over exertion or over use of extensors of wrist mainly ECRB and pain is felt at the origin of common extensor tendon. This study was focused to assess the effectiveness of cyriax approach and mulligan approach to improve the functional status of sub acute lateral epicondylitis patients through patient related tennis elbow evaluation form.
No consensus has yet been built on the treatment of lateral epicondylitis (LE) due to the lack of evidence. Although conflicting results are present, radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) has increasingly been used in the treatment of tendinopathy
The aim of the present intervention is to determine the effectiveness of the application of tissue flossing in patients with tennis elbow
The aim of this study was to investigate whether or not the outcomes of acupuncture used in combination with fire needle treatment are better than those of acupuncture alone in patients with lateral epicondylitis. The primary outcome was the visual analog scale pain score for the previous 24 hours and the secondary outcomes were the maximum grip strength, Patient-rated Forearm Evaluation Questionnaire score, and Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-form Health Survey score. The values at baseline (pretreatment), at the end of treatment, and at three months after treatment were used to assess the short-term and intermediate-term effects of treatment.
