Active clinical trials for "Tennis Elbow"

Chronic lateral epicondylitis is usually managed conservatively. The purpose of this single-blinded, randomized, controlled study is to compare the clinical therapeutic effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in comparison with cryoultrasound (Cryo-US) therapy in chronic lateral epicondylitis (LE) during a period of 12 months.

Current treatments for lateral epicondylitis include: rest, behaviour modification and physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory medication - both steroidal and non-steroidal, and surgery. Current experimental therapies include muscle relaxants to reduce muscle tone and force on the epicondyle, laser therapy to stimulate collagen production, and blood based therapies including the injection of autologous blood and protein rich plasma. Cell Therapy Ltd (trading as Celixir) has developed a regenerative gel that combines isolated allogeneic platelet growth factors and a cellulose-derivative gel.

The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of Tyler twist wrist extensor strengthening exercises in patients with lateral epicondylitis. A randomized control trial was conducted at Cina medical center Rawalpindi and Midland Doctors Medical institute. The sample size was 52 calculated through open-epi tool. The participants were divided into two groups: the treatment group and the control group. The study duration was 1 year. Sampling technique applied was non-probability purposive sampling. Only 20 to 40 years participants with diagnosed condition were included in the study. Tools used in this study are Jamar dynamometer for grip strength and PRTEE Questionnaire for pain and disability. Data was collected at baseline, mid and immediately after the application of interventions. Data analyzed through SPSS version 25

Pain, decreased grip strength, and loss of function are observed in individuals with lateral epicondylitis. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of ESWT and IASTM applications on pain, grip strength and function in individuals with lateral epicondylitis.

The aim of this research is to determine effects tendon neuroplastic training on strength, pain, and function in lateral epicondylitis. Randomized controlled trials will be conduct in National Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine Islamabad and Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar. The sample size is 34. The subjects will be divided in two groups, 17 subjects in tendon neuroplastic training group and 17 subjects will be assigned to conventional exercises group. Study duration is of one year. Sampling technique applied will be non-probability convenient sampling technique. Only 20-45 years old patients diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis will be included. Tools used in the study are Numeric pain scale, Dynamometer for grip strength and Patient rated tennis elbow evaluation for functional status.

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.

In this study, the effects of mulligan and muscle energy techniques on pain, grip strength and functionality will be investigated in a randomized controlled manner in individuals with lateral epicondylitis. Various treatments have been tried in patients with lateral epicondylitis whose daily activities are restricted in order to reduce pain and increase functions. Among them, conservative and physical therapy agents have an important place. There are many studies in the literature evaluating the effects of mobilization in LE treatment. However, there are no definitive data on the long-term efficacy and benefits of all these treatment methods. Mulligan and muscle energy techniques can be used in lateral epicondylitis due to many positive reasons such as being effective in a short time, giving fast results, high success rate, risk-free and painless in the case of specialists. Thanks to the findings obtained from our study, it is aimed to contribute to the literature with objective, evidence-based results in this field.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor (rhPDGF-BB) Injection is effective in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow).

The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical effect of physiotherapy alone or combined with corticosteroid injection in the initial treatment of lateral epicondylitis in a primary care setting. To find the short and long term effect of physiotherapy with Mill's manipulation, deep friction massage and exercise therapy. To ascertain wether the outcome is influenced by corticosteroid injection, which has been shown to be of benefit alone in the short term?

Lateral epicondylitis, is a common problem encountered in the orthopaedic practice. Histopathological reports have shown that lateral epicondylitis is not an inflammatory process but a degenerative condition termed 'tendinosis'. Beneficial effects of local corticosteroid infiltration have sound lack of scientific rationale, since surgical specimens show lack of any inflammatory process. Recently an injection of "autologous blood injection" has been reported to be effective for both intermediate and long term outcomes. It is hypothesized that blood contains platelet derived growth factor induce fibroblastic mitosis and chemotactic polypeptides such as transforming growth factor cause fibroblasts to migrate and specialize and have been found to induce healing cascade. The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of autologous blood injection versus local corticosteroid injection in the management of lateral epicondylitis.
