简要总结
Comparison of the effects of kinesiotaping and high intensity laser therapy in patients with lateral epicondylitis: a randomized controlled study
详细描述
In this study, it was aimed to compare the effects of exercise therapy, kinesiology taping and high-intensity laser therapy on pain, muscle strength and functional status in patients with LE. Patients who applied to the outpatient clinic of the Sadi Konuk Training and Research Hospital Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation clinic due to elbow pain and were diagnosed with unilateral LE will be included. The study was planned as randomized, prospective and controlled. Patients will be randomized using a random (randomized) numbers table and distributed equally to the groups. Only exercise will be applied to the first group, high-intensity laser therapy and exercise to the second group, and kinesiology taping and exercise treatments to the third group. Sixty people will be included in the study. Patients will be evaluated before treatment, immediately after treatment, and at 4 weeks post-treatment. In the evaluation of the patients, the severity of pain during rest and activity measured with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH), Patient Based Lateral Epicondylitis Evaluation Test - Patient Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE), Jamar' Hand grip strength will be evaluated with the hand dynamometer.

结局指标
主要结局
Patient Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE)
时间窗: Initial, Week 3, Week 7
It consists of pain and function subscales that assess the level of pain in the affected arm in the last 1 week and the degree of difficulty experienced during specific and daily activities. The pain assessment consists of 5 questions and the functional assessment consists of 10 questions, totaling 15 questions. The questions are evaluated with a 10-point Likert scale, as in the VAS, with numbers written side by side from 0 to 10. It is calculated by averaging the pain score and functional score. The total score ranges from 0-100, with a higher score indicating an increase in pain and functional loss. Validation of turkish version is available.
