5% and 15% Dextrose Prolotherapy Efficacy in Lateral Epicondylitis

Lateral Epicondylitis

In the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, 5% dextrose prolotherapy is aimed to be more reliable than 15% prolotherapy in terms of side effects and to show that it is similar in terms of efficacy in treatment.

Effectiveness of Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy and Supervised Exercises in Lateral Epicondylitis...

Lateral Epicondylitis

No consensus has yet been built on the treatment of lateral epicondylitis (LE) due to the lack of evidence. Although conflicting results are present, radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) has increasingly been used in the treatment of tendinopathy

Hyaluronate Injection for Lateral Epicondylitis

Tennis Elbow

This proposal is a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study to evaluate the efficacy of hyaluronic acid (HA) injections for chronic lateral epicondylitis (LE). HA has traditionally been used to treat knee osteoarthritis. There are a small number of studies in the literature that suggest that HA injections can be very effective for tendinosis. Although LE has been studied with literally hundreds of articles published, very little treatment has proven to be efficacious. This study will investigate the effectiveness of hyaluronate in treatment of chronic LE. This will include a two arm study with one formulation of HA tested against saline injections as the control.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) in Chronic Epicondylitis

Epicondylitis

Background Tendinopathy is a difficult problem to manage and can result in significant patient morbidity. Currently, the clinical use of PRP in painful tendons is widespread but its efficacy remains controversial. Current experimental research postulates different efficiency among PRP formulations.Recent reviews showed that most clinical studies in tendinopathies have been performed with L-PRP. The investigators aim to examine the efficacy of pure-PRP in the management of epicondylitis. The investigators hypothesized that pure PRP associated to needling intervention can enhance tendon healing in epicondylitis, improve function and reduce pain. Methods and design Randomized double blind controlled trial, a total of 80 patients will be randomly allocated into one of two groups: PRP or control. Interventions: PRP group, ultrasound (US)guided needling associated to delivery of multiple PRP depots each alternate week for a total of two interventions. Control Group: US-guided needling with lidocaine each alternate week for a total of two interventions. Main outcome measure: Changes in pain and activity levels, as assessed by Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH)outcome measure score, before and six months after intervention.The primary end-point is 25% reduction in DASH. The investigators will compare the percentage of patients, in each group, that achieve a successful treatment defined as a reduction of at least 25% in the DASH score. Secondary outcome measures:Changes in pain and function as assessed by DASH and changes in pain as assessed by the visual analogue scale (VAS)at the 3, 6 and 12 month follow-up. Changes in sonographic features and neovascularity at 3, 6 and 12 months.

Treatment of Epicondylitis by Ultrasound-guided Local Injections of PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)

Epicondylitis

The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy of two intra-tendinous injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on epicondylitis of recent evolution (≤ 3 months) compared compared to two intra-tendinous injections of saline solution (placebo).

Tendon Fenestration Versus Surgery for the Treatment of Chronic Lateral Epicondylosis

Epicondylitis of the ElbowTennis Elbow

Lateral epicondylosis, also called tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis, is a prevalent, painful syndrome of the elbow. It is refractory to conservative treatment measures, including rest, excentric and concentric exercises in approximately 20% of patients after 6 months. Corticosteroid injections can provide relief in the short term. Mini-open surgery may be proposed when the conservative treatment fails and studies have shown an efficacy of 70%. Ultrasound-guided tendon fenestration is a minimally-invasive technique which stimulates the physiological healing mechanisms of the tendon and appears promising for the treatment of chronic tendinopathies. To our knowledge, no studies have compared the US-guided fenestration technique to mini-open surgery for the treatment of chronic lateral epicondylosis. The primary objective of this pilot study is to compare the efficacy of US-guided fenestration to mini-open surgery to reduce pain and improve functional status in workers suffering from chronic lateral epicondylosis refractory to 6-month conservative treatment. This is a prospective single-blind randomized pilot study. Sixty-four subjects will be randomized into two intervention groups for treatment either by US-guided fenestration or mini-open surgery. The primary outcome of the study will be the Patient Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) score at 6 month post-procedure.
