Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (rESWT) treatment and Deep Friction Massage (DFM) treatment on pain, functionality, grip strength (GS), edema, range of motion (ROM) of the elbow and quality of life in individuals with chronic lateral epicondylitis (CLE).

36 individuals diagnosed with CLE will be randomly divided into two equal groups. rESWT treatment will be applied to Group 1 and DFM treatment to Group 2. Visual analogue scale will be used to assess pain severity, functionality with Patient-Rated Elbow Evaluation Turkish version (PRTEE-T), GS with digital dynamometer, ROM of the elbow joint with goniometer, edema with environmental measurement, and quality of life with Short Form 36 (SF-36).
