Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change from baseline visual analog scale (VAS) elbow pain at 4th and 12th week | Pain intensity was measured with visual analogue scale for pain (0-10 mm; 0 means no pain, 10 means severe pain) which is used to measure musculoskeletal pain with very good reliability and validity. The patient will be asked to score rest, movement, and nighttime pain. | baseline and 12th week | |
Secondary | Change from baseline Handgrip strength at 4th and 12th week | Measuring hand grip strength is an objective method for evaluating response to treatment and functional recovery. Grip strength will be evaluated with the Jamar hydraulic hand dynamometer. Patients will be asked to squeeze with maximum force and each measurement will be made three times, and their averages will be recorded in kg. The dynamometer has a dual scale readout which displays isometric grip force from 0-90 kg. Higher scores means better grip strength. | baseline and 12th week | |
Secondary | Change from baseline Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Score (Quick DASH) at 4th and 12th week | Quick DASH is a questionnaire that can be used to evaluate disability, activity restriction and work participation restriction caused by musculoskeletal problems involving the upper extremity. The QuickDASH tool uses a 5-point Likert system (1: no difficulty, 2: mild difficulty, 3: moderate difficulty, 4: extreme difficulty, 5: not able to do at all) from which the patient can mark an appropriate number corresponding to his/her severity/function level. According to the results of the Quick DASH questionnaire, a score between 0-100 is obtained from each section and a higher score indicates greater disability. | baseline and 12th week | |
Secondary | Change from baseline quality of life (Short Form 36 (SF-36)) at 4th and 12th weeks | This is a self-administered scale, which is widely used to measure the quality of life. It was developed to measure the quality of life in patients who have physical illnesses; however, it can also be successfully used in healthy individuals and patients who have psychiatric diseases. SF-36 includes 36 items and surveys eight domains of health. Total score was between 0 (disability) and 100 (no disability). Every subgroup of the questionnaire has a score scale between 0 and 100. Every increase in the subgroup of SF-36 questionnaire, which is a positive scoring system, indicates increase in quality of life related to health. | baseline and 12th week | |
Secondary | Change from baseline Ultrasonographic examination at 4th and 12th weeks | Ultrasonographic examination will be made using the Esaote My Lab 70 XVision 6-18 Mhz linear probe. Before the treatment, patients will be evaluated for tendinosis of the common extensor tendon (extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor carpi ulnaris, extensor digitorum, extensor digiti minimini tendons) by a physician experienced in the field of ultrasound, as gray scale and color Doppler activity. | baseline and 12th week | |
Secondary | Change from baseline upper extremity muscle strength with isokinetic device at 4th and 12th weeks | Isokinetic systems are complex systems used for both rehabilitation and patient evaluation. Isokinetic contraction; It is defined as contraction at a constant rate throughout the entire range of motion and at an equal rate at all angles of motion. Wrist extensor strength isokinetic strength assessment will be performed by a physiotherapist who is trained in using the isokinetic device (IsoMed 2000, isokinetic dynamometer, Germany) and has at least 5 years of experience. | baseline and 12th week |
