Filter by: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).
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 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.
Current treatments for lateral epicondylitis include: rest, behaviour modification and physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory medication - both steroidal and non-steroidal, and surgery. Current experimental therapies include muscle relaxants to reduce muscle tone and force on the epicondyle, laser therapy to stimulate collagen production, and blood based therapies including the injection of autologous blood and protein rich plasma. Cell Therapy Ltd (trading as Celixir) has developed a regenerative gel that combines isolated allogeneic platelet growth factors and a cellulose-derivative gel.
Lateral epicondylitis (LE) is the most frequent painful musculoskeletal condition, which is characterized by a pain in the lateral epicondyle of the humerus and the common extensor tendon. The incidence of LE is approximately one to three percent of general population. LE is mostly the result of the overuse and repetitive movements of wrists and hands because of occupational or recreational activities. Diagnosis depends on clinical symptoms, history and physical examination including manual provocation tests. Magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound (US), x-ray and electrophysiological assessment may be used in patient who do not response to conservative treatments. It is known that the radial nerve cross sectional-areas (CSAs) are increased in cases of refractory LE, although nerve conduction studies are normal. There is insufficient evidence to prove the superiority of any of conservative treatments to the others in patients with LE. The literature indicates that Kinesio taping decreases pain intensity, recovers grip strength, and improves functional status in patients with LE. The investigators design a randomized, single-blind, controlled trail to evaluate the effects of Kinesio taping both clinical and using ultrasonography.
The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effect of CT application in combination with ESWT and ESWT on pain and grip strength in athletes/patients with lateral epicondylitis.It is planned that at least 30 athletes aged 18-40 who are at the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Health Affairs and who have been diagnosed with LE by specialist doctor. After taking the information about birth dates, height, weight and dominant sides of the athletes who are willing to participate in the study, pain intensities and hand grip strengths will be evaluated. Then the athletes will be randomly divided into 2 groups according to closed envelope method. First group ESWT application; 4 sessions will be held for 4 weeks. The second group included ESWT + CT; 4 sessions will be held for 4 weeks. Pain severity and hand grip strength will be evaluated again after treatment.
The investigators are testing the efficacy of a new, FDA-approved bioinductive patch in lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) patients. A bioinductive patch is an implant that may foster tendon regrowth and healing following surgery. Patients will be randomize into one of two groups: control and investigational. Patients in the "control group" will receive the normal surgery for patients who do not respond to physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and anti-inflammatory treatment. Patients in the "experimental group" will receive the same surgical treatment, with the addition of the bioinductive patch. This patch will be implanted during surgery. Then, using a combination of ultrasound studies and other measures, the investigators will assess how well the patch works compared to surgery alone.
