简要总结
Tennis Elbow (or Lateral Epicondylalgia) is one of the most common overload injuries that it is the most frequent cause of lateral elbow pain, occurring to people between 40-60 years of age. It is characterized by pain on the outside of the elbow, usually near the lateral epicondyle bone where the extensor carpi Brevis tendon attaches, aggravated by gripping or wringing activities During menopause period, declining estrogen levels can negatively impact tendon health. Estrogen plays a protective role in tendons, contributing to their strength and ability to withstand load.
详细描述
As estrogen decreases, tendons may become weaker, less resilient, and more susceptible to injury, potentially leading to conditions like tendinopathy. This can often add to these feelings of pain and limit of function ; and possibly limit your movements in day to day activities. Multimodal electrotherapy ( low level laser therapy plus interferential current) and extracorporeal shock wave therapy can be used to improve this problem.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual analogue scale
时间窗: 6 weeks
The VAS consists of a 10-cm line, with the left extremity indicating ''no pain'' and the right extremity indicating ''unbearable pain.'' Participants asked to use the scale to indicate their current level of pain Higher values suggest more intense pain ,It was found that VAS provide valid and reliable assessments for the affective magnitude, as well as the sensation intensity of pain.
hand grip
时间窗: 6 weeks
Grip hand strength will be assessed by hand held dynamometer
