Brief Summary: Lateral epicondylitis significantly impacts daily activities and productivity at work making it a condition of substantial clinical and socioeconomic importanceDespite its high prevalence clinical significance and impact on daily life the optimal management of LE remains a topic of ongoing debate

This study aims to investigate the efficacy of kinesiotaping KT on pain intensity functional status and quality of life in patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis LE

The study was conducted in the outpatient clinic for level 3 physical medicine and rehabilitation Patients were randomized into two groups the real kinesiotaping home exercise group and the sham taping home exercise group randomized by a medical secretary outside the study A set of widely accepted literature-consistent primer and seconder outcomes were statistically compared to determine whether one treatment was superior to the other
Detailed Description: Between February 1 2024 and August 31 2024 a total of 42 patients 17 females 25 males with chronic LE were included Patients were randomized into either the KT or sham-controlled group Patients were blinded to which group they were assigned to The taping was performed by the same physician who was trained and experienced in kinesiotaping

Kinesiotaping and sham-taping were applied six times over three weeks Both groups received recommendations for activity modification and a home-based stretching and strengthening exercise program The exercise program was designed by an author who has a national book chapter on exercise for the treatment of lateral epicondylitis taking into account patient specificity and adherence and in accordance with the literaturExercise adherence was monitored through weekly outpatient controls while taping and by phone check-ins two weeks after the taping was completed

Outcome measures were visual analog scale VAS pain score Patient-Rated Forearm Evaluation Questionnaire PRFEQ grip strength Disabilities of Arm Shoulder and Hand DASH quality of life in Short Form-36 SF-36 and The Roles and Maudsley patient satisfaction score The subjects were assessed before treatment at the end of treatment week three and four weeks after the end of treatment week sevenThe assessment parameters were also conducted by the same researcher to ensure consistency
