Epicondylitis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Treatment of Epicondylitis by Ultrasound-guided Local Injections of Autologous Conditioned Plasma (ACP®): a Double-blind Placebo-controlled Randomized Clinical Trial With One-year Follow-up
The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy of two intra-tendinous injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on epicondylitis of recent evolution (≤ 3 months) compared compared to two intra-tendinous injections of saline solution (placebo).
