Physical Therapy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of the Effects of Kinesio Tape and High-intensity Laser Therapy on Pain, Grip Strength and Functional Level in Patients With Lateral Epicondylitis: a Randomized Controlled Study.
Lateral epicondylitis is a common upper extremity disease that occurs with tenderness in the lateral epicondyle, the common attachment point of the wrist extensor muscles, and pain during resisted wrist extension. The main purpose of treating lateral epicondylitis is to reduce pain and increase functionality, but there is no accepted standard treatment method. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of kinesio tape and high intensity laser in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis.

Primary | Pain Measurement | Patients' lateral epicondylitis pain intensity will be evaluated with a visual analog scale (VAS). On the visual analog scale, the left end of a 10 cm straight line represents no pain, and the right end represents excruciating pain. The patient will be asked to mark the pain he feels on the VAS scale during the test, and then this value will be measured and recorded with the help of a ruler. | Pain will be evaluated before treatment, immediately after treatment and 6 weeks after treatment | |
Primary | Hand grip strength | A standard hand dynamometer (Jamar® Plus + Digital Hand Dynamometer from Patterson Medical, Sammons Preston, Bolingbrook, USA) will be used to measure grip strength. The Jamar dynamometer has high reliability and validity; therefore the device has been considered the gold standard for assessing grip strength. Grip strength evaluation will be performed with patients in a sitting position from a chair. During the test, patients will be asked to position their elbows in 90° flexion and their forearms and wrists in neutral position. The test will be repeated 3 times with one minute intervals and the average of the obtained values will be recorded. | Hand grip strength will be evaluated before treatment, immediately after treatment and 6 weeks after treatment | |
Primary | Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation | Functional levels of the patients will be assessed with a Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of a total of 15 questions evaluating the functional level of patients with lateral epicondylitis in the last week. 5 questions evaluate pain and the other 10 questions evaluate functional level in various tasks. The score for each question is between 0 (best) and 10 (worst). The best score that can be obtained in the section that evaluates functionality is 0, while the worst score is 100. | Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation will be evaluated before treatment, immediately after treatment and 6 weeks after treatment | |
Secondary | Pain Sensitivity Measurement | Pain sensitivity will be measured with a pressure pain meter (JTECH Medical, Midvale, UT, USA). Measurements will be made by the same researcher under the same conditions. The researcher will press a 1 cm2 probe perpendicularly to the affected lateral epicondyle and the first point where the patient feels pain will be recorded. Measurements will be repeated 3 times and the average of these values will be taken. | Pain Sensitivity Measurement will be evaluated before treatment, immediately after treatment and 6 weeks after treatment |
