Active clinical trials for "Elbow Tendinopathy"

The investigators believe that blood flow-restricted training can result in increased caste hypertrophy and strength without stressing the tendon in lateral elbow tendinopathy, and that changes in local metabolic activities can be effective in the process of tendon healing. The researchers' aim in the study is to investigate the effectiveness of blood flow restriction training in lateral elbow tendinopathy for 8 weeks, in addition to the 2 days a week multi-modal physiotherapy program, which will be applied by limiting blood flow by 40-50% occlusion recommended for the upper extremity using the patient's systolic pressure to the severity of 20-30% of 1 maximum repetition, 75 repetitions including 30-15-15-15 repetitions and 30 seconds rest period between sets, remaining attached to the recommended 10-15 minutes period for the top extremity.

A randomized cross-over trial comparing the immediate effects of a wrist extensor exercise with and without blood flow restriction (BFR) on pain perception in patients with lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET).

Trial Design: The Norwegian Tennis Elbow (NOTE) study is a single-centre; three-armed, feasibility randomised controlled trial. Aim: The primary aim of this study is to pilot the methods proposed to conduct a definite RCT study. Objectives: Measure the process of recruitment. Measure intervention adherence and acceptability. Measure outcome measure retention rate and completeness. The Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) will be used as the primary outcome measure. Intervention: Patients will be randomised to either: 1) Heavy slow resistance training (HSR), 2) Radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) or 3) Information and advice. Follow-up will be after 3 and 6 months.

Soft Tissue Adapted Biocompatible Hyaluronic Acid, or STABHA™, has demonstrated varying degrees efficacy in patients treated for common musculoskeletal tendinopathies and ligament injuries, such as ankle sprains, lateral elbow tendinopathy, and rotator cuff tendinopathies. Factors associated with prognosis following treatment remain largely unknown. Identifying appropriate patient populations for use of STABHA™ is a necessary first step to facilitate the design of future clinical trials in the management of acute and chronic musculoskeletal soft-tissue injuries.

Evaluation of the applying a stretching protocol to lateral epicondylitis.

Chronic tendinopathies (CT) have a high prevalence (30% of musculoskeletal injuries), causing pain, decreased physical activity and functionality, as well as limitations in daily life. Virtual reality (VR) fosters patient recovery through playful activities that promote competitiveness, stimulates motivation and continuous attention, allows individualizing the exercise program, objectively assessing the execution of the treatment and monitoring the patient's evolution. Therefore, the VIRTENDON-REHAB project aims to conduct a low-risk randomized controlled clinical trial to analyze the efficacy of a VR-based physical rehabilitation program in a population diagnosed with CT on pain, functionality, range of motion, strength, muscle activation pattern, kinesiophobia, quality of life, adherence to treatment and patient satisfaction with the use of the system, compared to a control group. Likewise, the aim is to characterize the clinical profile of this population and to know the relationships between the previous variables. Measurements will be taken at the beginning of the intervention, at the end (12 weeks) and 3 months after the end of the intervention. A descriptive analysis will be performed, inter- and intra-group differences will be analyzed by means of t-Student, Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney U and mixed ANOVA tests. Cohen's d will be used to determine the effect size. Relationships between variables will be analyzed using structural equations. The results obtained will allow improving knowledge on the management of CT using VR, as well as improving clinical care and reducing healthcare costs.

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of rotator cuff and scapular muscle strengthening exercises applied in addition to the 8-week elbow focused rehabilitation program in lateral elbow tendinopathy, by comparing it with the elbow focused rehabilitation program.

The study will address the gaps in the pain experience measurement in those with lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET) by building on the current body of literature, as well as applying modern pain science measures. The comprehensive measurement of various biomedical, psychological, and psychosocial constructs will provide pain profiles that will allow for the subclassification of LET to better inform loading prescriptions based on the systemic effects from LET.

To evaluate the feasibility of subantimicrobial -dose (SD) doxycycline to improve outcomes of nonsurgical management of elbow tendinopathy via matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibition as well as evaluate if participants will be compliant to with prescribed medication and exercise treatment. Our working hypothesis is that patients with elbow tendinopathy will be receptive to treatment with SD-doxycycline and compliant with the prescribed treatment.

Lateral epicondylitis is a degenerative tendinosis of the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle and is the most common work/sports-related chronic musculoskeletal problem affecting the elbow. This randomized, double-blinded, controlled study aimed to evaluate the short term and residual effectiveness of the Kinesio taping method on pain, grip force, quality of life, and functionality.
