Brief Summary:
Lateral epicondylitis also called tennis elbow is the most common disease in elbow-pain symptoms The symptoms can have a major impact on the patients activity of daily life including turning a doorknob lifting a full coffee cup to mouth or wringing out a dish rag
This is a randomized study the investigators will evaluate the immediate short-term and long-term effect of Fus subcutaneous needling on the patients suffering with lateral epicondylitis

Detailed Description:
Lateral epicondylitis also called tennis elbow is the most common disease in elbow-pain symptoms The major mechanism is overuse of the flexors extensors and supination muscles in the wrist causing micro-trauma in the muscles attachment to the lateral epicondyle of the elbow The long-term accumulated and poor repaired trauma causes myofascial trigger points in the related muscles Patients often describe pain at the lateral aspect of the elbow Pain can be further elicited with passive wrist flexion and by resisting active wrist extension Symptoms also include weakness in the grip strength and limitation of elbow motion Therefore it can have a major impact on the patients activity of daily life including turning a doorknob lifting a full coffee cup to mouth or wringing out a dish rag
Fus subcutaneous needling FSN as one of the dry needle treatments performed by swaying a disposable Fus subcutaneous needle parallel to the underlying muscles after penetrating the skin to the subcutaneous fascia With the reperfusion activities myofascial pain and soft tissue pain caused by myofascial trigger points can be decreased effective simultaneously So far there is no solid research or clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment yet
The investigators will conduct the randomized experiment to evaluate the immediate short-term and long-term effect of FSN The outcome measures include visual analog scale patient-rated tennis elbow evaluation questionnaire pressure pain threshold pain-free grip test muscle tone changes and ultrasonographic evaluaton of the common extensor tendon
