简要总结
o Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) is commonly treated with conservative methods, but current treatments show inconsistent effectiveness in pain relief and functional recovery.
o Marma Chikitsa is an Ayurvedic, non invasive therapy focused on stimulating vital energy points, promoting Prana flow, and restoring Dosha balance, but lacks robust scientific evidence for its efficacy in tennis elbow.
o Ultrasound therapy uses high frequency sound waves to enhance tissue healing and reduce pain but has shown variable results across studies.
o There is a need to compare these two approaches to evaluate their relative effectiveness, determine complementary benefits, and explore their potential as part of an integrative treatment strategy for tennis elbow.
o A head to head comparison will provide insight into the mechanisms, safety, and clinical outcomes of both therapies, supporting the development of more evidence based treatment protocols for tennis elbow management.
