Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Participants were randomly divided into three groups:
Group 1: received conventional physiotherapy including hot pack application, transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS), and stretching/strengthening exercises. Physiotherapy was administered 5 times per week for 2 weeks (total of 10 sessions).
Group 2: received the same physiotherapy as group 1, plus extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) administered twice per week for 2 weeks (total of 4 sessions).
Group 3: received the same physiotherapy as group 1, plus high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) administered twice per week for 2 weeks (total of 4 sessions).
Pain severity was evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS), grip strength using a hand dynamometer, and functional status using the Duruöz Hand Index and patient-rated tennis elbow evaluation (PRTEE-T). All outcome measures were assessed at three time points: baseline (before treatment), post-treatment (after 2 weeks), and at 1-month follow-up. The primary objective was to assess whether either ESWT or HILT offers additional benefit over standard physiotherapy and whether one modality is superior to the other in treating lateral epicondylitis.
