Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
BACKGROUND:
Lateral epicondylitis (LE) (tennis elbow) is a tendinopathy of the forearm extensor muscles, often caused by overuse or repetitive use (mostly of the extensor carpi radialis brevis), forced extension or direct trauma in the epicondyle . LE has an approximate rate of 40% and a prevalence of 1-3% of the general population . It mostly affects people 40 years and older. Some studies indicate that men and women are equally affected; others report a higher percentage of affected women .
HYPOTHESES
It will be hypothesized that:
There will be no statistically significant effect of magnesium sulfate on pain intensity, muscle power, hand grip and function ability in patients with lateral epicondylitis.
Definition of terms Lateral epicondylitis: pain and tenderness over the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, and pain on resisted dorsiflexion of the wrist, middle finger, or both .
Iontophoresis: is a technique used to enhance transdermal penetration of substances through the application of electric current .
RESEARCH QUESTION:
This study will be conducted to answer the following question:
What is the effect of magnesium sulfate on pain intensity, muscle power, hand grip and function ability in patients with lateral epicondylitis?
