Brief Summary:
The aim of the study is to compare between transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency and corticosteroids injections in management of pain severity, forearm pain, functional disability and patient capability to operate daily activities in patients with lateral epicondylitis
Detailed Description:
Lateral epicondylitis (LE), or tennis elbow, is the most common elbow pain condition. Pain in the lateral aspect of the elbow, especially the extensor tendon origin (extensor carpi radialis brevis \[ECRB\] and extensor digitorum communis \[EDC\]), is the most consistent symptom. It affects up to 3 % of the population and is usually an overload injury that often follows minor and often unrecognized trauma to the extensor forearm muscles of the forearm.
Transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency treatment is a noninvasive, needleless, painless, office/outpatient treatment that requires no recovery, sedation, or anesthesia. We were encouraged to research transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency as a treatment option because of favorable outcomes in previous trials. Therefore, transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency treatment used successfully in a type of orthopedic surgeries, we designed this trial to examine it in the management of pain in lateral epicondylitis.
