简要总结
Comparison between 2 groups of chronic lateral epicondylitis, to determine the effect of ozonated media phonophoresis on chronic lateral epicondylitis.
详细描述
40 patients (male and female), patients age would be ranged from 30 to 50 years, would be randomly allocated using sealed envelope into randomly two matched group (A and B), Group A (Experimental): 20 patients would receive ultrasonic with ozonated gel as a coupling medium (phonophoresis) (1 MHz, 1 W/cm2continuous mode) for 5 min. plus, conventional physical therapy program consists of (conventional TENS (100 Hz) for 30 min - hot pack for 20 min- stretching and strengthening exercises, wrist rest splints). 3 times per week for 4 weeks.
Group B (control):20 patients will receive conventional physical therapy program consists of (conventional TENS (100 Hz) for 30 min - hot pack for 20 min- stretching and strengthening exercises, wrist rest splints) 3times per week for 4 weeks.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain status
时间窗: 4 weeks
assessment of pain using (visual analogue scale)s a horizontal line, 100 mm in length, anchored by word descriptors at each end. 2) The patient mark millimeters ed on the line the point that they feel ed represents their perception of their current state. The VAS score is determined by measuring in from the start point of the line to the point that the patient marks It was used to evaluate pain intensity. The VAS is a self. reported pain meas urement scale. The extremes of the line are labelled as no pain and worst pain. Each subject was asked to mark the point on the line that exactly corresponded to his/her pain .
