Trigger Point Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in Patients With Lateral Epicondylitis (LE-TP-ESWT)

Descrizione dettagliata
Lateral epicondylitis is a common tendinopathic condition characterized by pain over the lateral elbow, reduced grip strength, and limitation in upper extremity function. The extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon and the common extensor tendon origin are frequently involved. Myofascial trigger points in the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle may also contribute to pain and functional impairment.
This prospective randomized controlled single-blind study investigates whether extracorporeal shock wave therapy applied to the extensor carpi radialis brevis trigger point provides additional clinical and ultrasonographic benefit in patients with lateral epicondylitis. Participants are allocated to two parallel groups. Both groups receive active extracorporeal shock wave therapy to the lateral epicondyle region once weekly for three sessions. The intervention group also receives active extracorporeal shock wave therapy to one trigger point in the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle. The comparator group receives sham extracorporeal shock wave therapy to the same trigger point area.
Outcome assessments are performed at baseline and at week 4. Pain intensity is assessed using the Visual Analog Scale. Grip strength is measured with a Jamar hand dynamometer. Hand function is assessed using the Duruöz Hand Index. Common extensor tendon thickness is measured by ultrasonography. The primary aim is to determine whether active trigger point extracorporeal shock wave therapy provides additional improvement compared with sham trigger point application when both groups receive active treatment to the lateral epicondyle region.

Intervento / Trattamento |
|---|---|
|
Sperimentale: Active Trigger Point ESWT Group
Participants receive active extracorporeal shock wave therapy to the lateral epicondyle region and active extracorporeal shock wave therapy to one trigger point in the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle, once weekly for three sessions.
|
Active extracorporeal shock wave therapy is applied to the lateral epicondyle region in both groups once weekly for three sessions.
In the experimental group, active extracorporeal shock wave therapy is also applied to one trigger point in the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle.

Comparatore fittizio: Sham Trigger Point ESWT Group
Participants receive active extracorporeal shock wave therapy to the lateral epicondyle region and sham extracorporeal shock wave therapy to one trigger point in the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle, once weekly for three sessions.
|
Active extracorporeal shock wave therapy is applied to the lateral epicondyle region in both groups once weekly for three sessions.
In the experimental group, active extracorporeal shock wave therapy is also applied to one trigger point in the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle.
Sham extracorporeal shock wave therapy is applied to one trigger point in the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle using a sham applicator that produces a similar sound but does not deliver therapeutic shock wave energy.

Misura Descrizione |
Lasso di tempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in Common Extensor Tendon Thickness
Lasso di tempo: Baseline and week 4
|
Common extensor tendon thickness is measured by ultrasonography using a linear probe with the elbow flexed at 90 degrees and the forearm in mid-supination.
Measurements are performed on a longitudinal image at the lateral epicondyle region, perpendicular to the tendon fibers.
The change from baseline to week 4 is evaluated

Change in Pain Intensity Assessed by Visual Analog Scale
Lasso di tempo: Baseline and week 4
|
Pain intensity is assessed using a 10-cm Visual Analog Scale.
A score of 0 indicates no pain and a score of 10 indicates the worst pain.
|
Baseline and week 4
|
|
Change in Grip Strength
Lasso di tempo: Baseline and week 4
|
Grip strength is measured using a Jamar hand dynamometer.
Measurements are performed with the participant seated, the shoulder adducted, the elbow flexed at 90 degrees, the forearm in neutral position, and the wrist in neutral position.
Three consecutive measurements are obtained from the affected side, and the mean value is used for analysis.
The change from baseline to week 4 is evaluated.

Change in Functional Disability Assessed by the Duruöz Hand Index
Lasso di tempo: Baseline and week 4
|
functional disability is assessed using the Duruöz Hand Index.
The scale includes 18 items evaluating difficulties in daily activities involving hand use.
Total scores range from 0 to 90, with higher scores indicating greater disability.
The change from baseline to week 4 is evaluated.
