简要总结
Epicondylitis is one of the most common pathologies in tennis players. The search for an effective treatment is necessary for the relief of symptoms and the return to sports practice. Therefore, a ddry needling treatment in combination with electricity is postulated as an alternative to isolated dry needling treatment or conventional physiotherapy treatment. Data will be collected in relation to pain and muscle activation by EMG in order to check the effectiveness of these techniques as well as the muscle activation that is generated.

结局指标
主要结局
Muscular activation
时间窗: 30 minutes
Electromyography: the adequate electrical activity of the muscles will be observed and the nerves will show adequate conduction of electrical impulses. This indicates normal and healthy functioning of the neuromuscular system
Algometry
时间窗: Initial, up to 2 weeks, and up to 6 weeks
Pressure algometer is an instrument with a circular disk on which the pressure measurements are displayed (with a range of 5 kg, divided into 10 parts of half a kilogram), and a rubber tip with a circular surface of 1 cm2, which allows transferring the pressure force to deep tissues.
Subjective Pain
时间窗: Initial, up to 2 weeks, and up to 6 weeks
Numeric Pain Rating Scale: Single 11-point numerical scale where scores correspond to Pain scores are interpreted as: 0 = no pain, 1-3 = mild pain, 4-6 = moderate pain and 7-10 = severe pain. 7-10 = severe pain
