Summary
Study start date: May 3, 2024
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.This study investigates a condition known as lateral epicondylitis, often called "tennis elbow," which is a common problem affecting the elbow, especially among manual laborers. It occurs when certain tendons in the elbow become overused, leading to pain and difficulty in gripping objects. Traditionally, this condition can resolve on its own over time, but there is limited evidence on the effectiveness of treatments such as physiotherapy. This trial aims to explore a combination of treatments to see if they can significantly reduce pain and improve function and grip strength in people with lateral epicondylitis. By comparing this new approach to conventional methods, the study hopes to provide clearer guidance on effective treatments. Participants in this study will undergo a treatment plan that includes exercises and therapies designed to improve muscle coordination and strength. The treatment involves a mix of mobilization, eccentric strengthening, massage, and stretching exercises. The study aims to measure improvements by using a device called a dynamometer to accurately assess changes in grip strength. By conducting this trial with a larger group of participants and a controlled setup, researchers hope to eliminate previous biases and provide more reliable results on the effectiveness of the treatment.
