Overview
Brief Summary
To date, focused and radial types of extracorporeal shock wave therapy have been effectively used in lateral epicondylitis. However, studies directly addressing a comparison between radial and focused types of extracorporeal shock wave therapy in lateral epicondylitis have not been done. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate comparative effects of radial and focused extracorporeal shock wave therapy options on lateral epicondylitis.
