简要总结
Lateral epicondylopathy (LE) is a common cause of elbow pain. In the literature, there are few studies evaluating the efficacy of ozone injection in LE. To our knowledge, there is no study comparing it with exercise therapy. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of home-based exercise and ozone therapy on pain, functionality and quality of life in LE.

Introduction
Lateral epicondylopathy (LE) is a common cause of elbow pain. In the literature, there are few studies evaluating the efficacy of ozone injection in LE. To our knowledge, there is no study comparing it with exercise therapy. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of home-based exercise and ozone therapy on pain, functionality and quality of life in LE. A rehabilitation hospital associated with a community-based tertiary medical center. In this study, 65 patients with clinically diagnosed LE received either home-based exercise (Group 1), ozone injections (Group 2). Data from 59 patients were analyzed.

研究组 & 干预措施
Ozone
The ozone therapy sessions were applied while the patient was in the supine position. The location and depth of the injection points were identified through palpation. Povidone iodine has been used for sterilization. The injection site was cleaned in accordance with the aseptic antisepsis guidelines. The injection was applied at trigger points. First, the lateral epicondyle was determined and marked and then trigger points were determined and marked. After the skin was sterilized, injections were made using a 25-gauge 1.5-inch needle without applying local anesthesia to lateral epicondyle with 90° elbow flexion. In each session, 5-7 ml, 15μg/mL O2-O3 in trigger points for each region according to the Unification of Criteria in the Practice of Ozone Therapy (as described in the Madrid Declaration). Ozon injections were performed six times at 3-4 day intervals
干预措施: Ozone treatment (Device)
结局指标
主要结局
Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (Quick-DASH)
时间窗: Quick-DASH values were measured before treatment, one month and three months after treatment.
Quick-DASH questionnaire evaluates upper extremity disability levels. Quick-DASH contains 11 items (scored 1-5) that evaluate the daily living activities and severity of symptoms. A higher score indicates greater disability.
Visual Analog Scale
时间窗: VAS values were measured before treatment, one month and three months after treatment.
All the patients were examined for pain of elbow using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) that rated the severity of pain on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 indicated no pain and 10 signified severe pain.
Patient-rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE)
时间窗: PRTEE values were measured before treatment, one month and three months after treatment.
PRTEE is a valid outcome measure for rating pain (PRTEE-pain) and disability (PRTEE-function) for forearm, that specifically developed for patient with LE. The scale has two parts, for pain (5 items) and function (10 items). Each item has a score from 0 to 10; a score of 10 refers to severe pain or inability to perform the activity.
次要结局
- European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions 3 Level Version (EQ-5D-3L)(EQ-5D-3L values were measured before treatment, one month and three months after treatment.)
