5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Purpose: Test the effectiveness of a physiotherapy treatment in a patient with Lateral epicondylalgia (LE).
Detailed Description
Methods: LE is a musculoskeletal pain around the lateral epicondyle that can also happen with a decrease in grip strength and/or neuromuscular disorders. It is established a plan of treatment base on the evidence for dry needling, stretching and eccentric exercise in the patient with lateral epicondylalgia. This is done in two sessions, one session every 10 days and with a duration of about 45 minutes.
