Active clinical trials for "Tennis Elbow"

This study evaluates the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) use during needling of the extensor carpalis radialis brevis tendon, after failure of proper reeducation including focal extra-corporal shockwave therapy (ESWT). Half of the patients with receive PRP and needling, and half of the patients will receive needling alone. During the reeducation, the clinical evaluation will be monitored and reported as in a case series.

A randomized clinical trial will be conducted. 130 subjects diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis will be studied. 3 intervention groups will be formed. Experimental group 1 will receive a 1000mg daily vitamin C supplement along with the usual practice of manual therapy and TENS. Group 2 will undergo high-speed vertebral manipulations along with manual therapy and TENS. In group 3 or control, manual therapy and transcutaneous electrotherapy (TENS) will be applied. All groups will receive the same manual therapy program and TENS, one session per week for 6 consecutive weeks. Data analysis: The data will be entered in the SPSS statistical package (version 21.0) for analysis). Statistical analysis will be performed with a 95% confidence interval, meaning that those whose P is <0.05 will be considered significant values.

The primary objectives are to evaluate the extent of systemic exposure and dexamethasone bioavailability following a single application of a dexamethasone iontophoretic transdermal patch in healthy volunteers. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the systemic and topical safety of the dexamethasone iontophoretic transdermal patch and of the dexamethasone intramuscular (IM) injection.

Lateral epicondylitis (LE) is one of the most frequently encountered lesions affecting the upper extremity and is the most common cause of elbow pain in adults. It occurs on the lateral side of the elbow where the common extensors originate from the lateral epicondyle. LE can be considered an overuse injury which occurs on the lateral side of the elbow in the extensor tendons with repetitive micro-trauma. The clinical presentation of LE involves a painful or burning sensation over the humeral insertion of the common extensor tendons. Despite the high incidence of LE, optimal treatment has not been established. Treatment options include therapeutic exercise, bracing, shock wave or ultrasound therapy , but many of them lack sufficient evidence of beneficial effects. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) alone or combined with static magnetic field (PBMT-sMF) has been shown to stimulate tendon healing, this suggests that therapy using laser or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is efficacious for the symptoms associated with epicondylitis. According to the favorable results of PBMT-sMF in tendons repair processes, this type of therapy can be used as a therapeutic tool for management in epicondylitis, therefore, more investigations are necessary to establish the ideal parameters. Therefore, the aim of this project is to investigate the effects of PBMT-sMF, in the appropriate parameters, on degree of pain and quality of life of patients with lateral epicondylitis.

This study is a prospective randomized controlled study of different arthroscopic treatments for refractory external humeral epicondylitis combined with platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection. The patients with intractable external humeral epicondylitis were randomly divided into groups before the operation. After the arthroscopic operation was completed, they were divided into a local PRP injection group and a control group (normal saline) to perform additional operations on the damaged tendons, each for up to half a year after the operation. In different time periods, the quantitative and qualitative indicators including pain, functional score, muscle strength, MRI performance, etc. were compared between groups at the same time period to evaluate the difference in the effect of arthroscopic treatment combined with PRP on the treatment of damaged tendons. Determine the effectiveness of PRP. At the same time, in the process of arthroscopic treatment, look for risk factors that affect the curative effect of intractable external humeral epicondylitis, as well as the causes and prevention of common complications.

Investigate the short- and long-term efficacy and safety of intradermal NSAIDs and lidocaine (delivered through mesotherapy) for the treatment of LE comparing it with empty intradermal injections.

Lateral epicondylitis, also called tennis elbow, is the most common disease in elbow-pain symptoms. The symptoms can have a major impact on the patient's activity of daily life, including turning a doorknob, lifting a full coffee cup to mouth, or wringing out a dish rag. This is a randomized study, the investigators will evaluate the immediate, short-term, and long-term effect of Fu's subcutaneous needling on the patients suffering with lateral epicondylitis.

This is a multicentre, open label, randomized, pilot study to evaluate safety and efficacy of human Platelet Lysate (HPL) in subjects with Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow). The study is being conducted in 2 centers in India. The primary end points are Visual Analog Score (VAS) and Patient rated tennis elbow evaluation (PRTEE) score. The secondary endpoint is improvement in ultrasonography form randomization to End of study.

In this study the investigators want to measure the impact or effects of adding cryostimulation to the conservative care of chronic lateral epicondylitis. The rapid fall in skin temperature above the injured tissues is presume to have a positive effect in the healing process. The combination of conservative care and cryostimulation could then be appreciated. The investigators chose to measure these effects with 3 elements: visual analog pain scale, validated elbow questionnaire and pain free grip strength. This pilot study consist in a two arm design, each arm including 15 patients.

The aim of the study is to compare two different injection sites of low dose botulinum toxin type A with steroid in treating lateral epicondylalgia.
