Brief Summary

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

This study investigates the comparative effectiveness of non-immersive virtual reality (VR) therapy and conventional physiotherapy in managing tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). Tennis elbow is a painful condition often characterized by chronic pain, reduced grip strength, and limited functionality.

Detailed Description

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

Conventional treatment approaches, including manual therapy and strengthening exercises, have been widely used but may not fully address the long-term rehabilitation needs of every patient. Virtual reality, an emerging tool in rehabilitation, has the potential to enhance patient engagement and adherence by providing an interactive therapeutic environment. Participants will be divided into two groups: one receiving VR therapy and the other conventional therapy, with each intervention lasting six weeks. Outcome measures include pain intensity (VAS), functional disability (DASH), patient satisfaction (PRTEE), grip strength, range of motion (ROM), and adherence rates. This study aims to determine if VR therapy can offer superior benefits over conventional

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Interventional group I

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

traditional physiotherapy

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Participants in this arm will undergo traditional physiotherapy exercises for managing tennis elbow.

Interventional group II

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Non-immersive VR therapy

Intervention Type COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Participants undergo a VR-based rehabilitation program targeting tennis elbow symptoms. Sessions last 30 minutes, conducted 3 times per week for 6 weeks. Exercises focus on improving grip strength, wrist flexibility, and functional movement through interactive VR environments that visually engage the affected arm, promoting adherence and motivation without full immersion. The VR setup includes headsets or screens that enable visual interaction, enhancing the rehabilitation experience. The goal is to alleviate pain, increase range of motion, and restore muscle strength.
