Brief Summary

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

To compare the effects of Trigger Point Ischaemic Compression Massage (TPICM) and Focused Extracarporeal Shock Wave Therapy (focused ESWT) on pain level, muscle strength, Joint range of motion, functionality and quality of life in patients with lateral epicondylitis (LE) in a randomised controlled trial.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study was planned to include at least 66 patients who presented to the sports medicine clinic of Gülhane Training and Research Hospital with lateral epicondyle pain for at least 2 months, were diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis and verbally and in writing declared that they were willing to participate in the study.

Patients participating in the study;

1. assessment of pain intensity with visual analog scale (VAS)
2. Evaluation of hand grip strength with jamar hand dynamometer
3. Isokinetic muscle strength assessment of wrist muscles with biodex isokinetic system 3
4. assessment of wrist range of motion with a manual goniometer
5. Function assessment with PRTEE-T
6. DASH questionnaire
7. SF-36 quality of life assessment will be performed before and after treatment.
