Filter by:This study investigates the treatment effect on lateral elbow tendinopathy of strength training in combination with cortico-steroid injection, dry-needling or placebo in a double-blinded randomized controlled trial.
Our primary objective is to study the relationship between ultra sound data and the pain associated with tennis elbow.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate eccentric training as an intervention for lateral epicondylalgia (tennis elbow) in a clinical setting.
Lateral epicondylitis, is a common problem encountered in the orthopaedic practice. Histopathological reports have shown that lateral epicondylitis is not an inflammatory process but a degenerative condition termed 'tendinosis'. Beneficial effects of local corticosteroid infiltration have sound lack of scientific rationale, since surgical specimens show lack of any inflammatory process. Recently an injection of "autologous blood injection" has been reported to be effective for both intermediate and long term outcomes. It is hypothesized that blood contains platelet derived growth factor induce fibroblastic mitosis and chemotactic polypeptides such as transforming growth factor cause fibroblasts to migrate and specialize and have been found to induce healing cascade. The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of autologous blood injection versus local corticosteroid injection in the management of lateral epicondylitis.
The purpose of this study is to compare efficacy, feasibility and cost effectiveness of botulinum toxin type A injections to active nine weeks strength training and stretching program in the treatment of the chronic lateral epicondylitis. The main hypothesis is that the botulinum toxin type A injections may enable more rapid pain relief while strength training may provide better functional results and less relapses during the follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical effect of physiotherapy alone or combined with corticosteroid injection in the initial treatment of lateral epicondylitis in a primary care setting. To find the short and long term effect of physiotherapy with Mill's manipulation, deep friction massage and exercise therapy. To ascertain wether the outcome is influenced by corticosteroid injection, which has been shown to be of benefit alone in the short term?
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Botulinum A toxin is effective in the treatment of tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis).
