Filter by:Lateral epicondylitis is an overuse syndrome of the forearm, which is associated with pain and sensitivity in the lateral elbow region. The aim of the study was to find out about is there any difference between the effects of traditional orthotic devices and adhesive taping, in the management of lateral epicondylitis. Therefore, the forearm counterforce brace, which was widely used in daily clinical practice for lateral epicondylitis, was compared with kinesio tape, a new technique of adhesive taping which has become increasingly popular. The study investigated and compared the effects of the two interventions (the forearm counterforce brace and kinesio tape) on pain severity, functional status and disability of patients with lateral epicondylitis.
To explore whether there is a difference in the rate of tendon tear after hyperlipemia in tennis elbow patients and those with normal blood lipids after closed treatment, which provides clues for further exploration of its mechanism. 1. Collect data from 108 cases of tennis elbow patients treated at the Institute of Sports Medicine, Peking University Third Hospital from January 2010 to December 2018 at the Institute of Sports Medicine, Peking University Third Hospital. Statistics included the sex, age, BMI, number of closures, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein. 2. Retrieve the MRI imaging data of the above-mentioned patients, and use the extensor tendon at the humerus to see if there is a tear as an observation indicator. Analyze the difference of tendon tear after closed treatment in patients with high blood fat and normal blood fat.
The aim of this study was to investigate the exploration history, key theories, methods, and techniques involved in the evolution from the intracapsular method to the extracapsular method for arthroscopic treatment of tennis elbow, and explore the effectiveness and safety of extracapsular method on the basis of retrospective analysis of 43 cases.
This study retrospectively analysed surgical outcomes of consecutive 50 cases to investigate the technical standard and clinical effect of extracapsular arthroscopic treatment for refractory tennis elbow.
A randomized clinical trial will be conducted. 130 subjects diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis will be studied. 3 intervention groups will be formed. Experimental group 1 will receive a 1000mg daily vitamin C supplement along with the usual practice of manual therapy and TENS. Group 2 will undergo high-speed vertebral manipulations along with manual therapy and TENS. In group 3 or control, manual therapy and transcutaneous electrotherapy (TENS) will be applied. All groups will receive the same manual therapy program and TENS, one session per week for 6 consecutive weeks. Data analysis: The data will be entered in the SPSS statistical package (version 21.0) for analysis). Statistical analysis will be performed with a 95% confidence interval, meaning that those whose P is <0.05 will be considered significant values.
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 is a painful enthesopathy of the common extensor tendon at the lateral part of the elbow, with a prevalence of 1-3 % in the general population. In the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, the role of biological-based therapies has begun to investigate regeneration and optimize tendon healing. Prolotherapy (PrT) and hyaluronic acid (HA) injections are biological based treatments. Previous studies have shown benefit of PrT in the treatment of tendinopathies. Preliminary findings demonstrated that HA could be clinically effective in the treatment of enthesopathies. Considering the paucity of HA studies (which also lack a control group) and the proposed mechanism of action of both PrT and HA is through cell proliferation and the healing process of tendons, this study was conducted to compare the effect of PrT and HA in chronic lateral epicondylitis .
This is a randomized control trial comparing the use of leukocyte rich platelet rich plasma injections to percutaneous tenotomy for the treatment of chronic common extensor tendinopathy.
The main objective of the trial is to compare the effectiveness of injected levobupivacaine and liposomal bupivacaine in the treatment of pain and disability in patients with lateral epicondylitis. Primary outcome is pain (VAS) at 1 week and at 1 month after injection. Secondary outcomes are the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand DASH (Quick DASH) and Oxford Elbow Score (OES) and a record of time off work due to lateral epicondylitis in days at 1 week and at 1 month. The study will be a cross-over trial
Within the outpatient rehabilitation clinic, therapists provide therapeutic interventions to treat patients with various tendinopathies, including lateral and medial epicondylosis. Current conservative treatment includes immobilization for forced rest of the inflamed tendons and muscles, as well as mobilizations to focus stimulation of synovial fluid, provide movement to nourish cartilage, promote periarticular extensibility, and provide sensory and proprioceptive input. Musculoskeletal disorders can accompany both local and referred pain patterns that need to be assessed and treated. When an acute trauma or repetitive micro-trauma occurs, that may result in decreased range of motion and increased pain causing the onset of weakness and function of the affected extremity. An alternative approach is through the provision of Piezowave Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT), which provides mechanical stimuli delivery to improve circulation and provide relief of pain. The focused sound waves produced by the Piezowave MyACT device are classified by a pressure surge, which is followed by a drop in pressure and a brief negative pressure phase low energy/low pressure application. It is this transformation of mechanical stimuli into biochemical signals, or mechanotransduction, which yields the treatment of myofascial and musculoskeletal pain. There is currently limited research to support the benefit in regards to increased function and decreased pain when the Piezowave MyACT is used for the treatment of lateral and medial epicondylosis. Of the limited research available, treatment with non-invasive shock wave therapy, complications are low and effect is achieved in most cases within three to five sessions. If Piezowave Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT)) is applied as treatment for symptoms of lateral and medical elbow tendinopathies, then the patient will experience increased function demonstrated by Quick DASH (Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) score and decreased pain demonstrated by subjective reporting on the numeric pain rating scale.
