简要总结
This study will be a randomized control trial and will be conducted in Pakistan Railway Hospital Rawalpindi. A sample of 36 participants will be taken. Patients will be divided into two groups by sealed envelop method. Patients in group A will receive Active Release Technique along with conventional therapy while Patients in group B will receive instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization along with conventional therapy. The study includes intervention protocol of 4 weeks. The sessions will be given 3 times a week for 4 weeks. The outcome measures Numeric pain rating scale(NPRS), Hand Dynamometer and Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) will be measured at baseline and at the end of 4th week. Data will be analyzed by SPSS 25
详细描述
Lateral epicondylitis is an injury caused by overusing the elbow. It is characterized by tenderness and pain over the lateral epicondyle of the elbow. It is not exactly a condition involving inflammation rather a chronic degeneration of the tendon. The major symptom of lateral epicondylitis is presentation or complaint of sharp pain at the lateral side of the elbow with swelling

结局指标
主要结局
Numeric Pain Rating Scale
时间窗: 4 Weeks
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale that is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity in adults. The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (no pain) to '10' representing the other pain extreme (or "worst pain imaginable"). The intrarater reliability with ICC = 0.67.
Hand Dynamometer
时间窗: 4 Weeks
hand dynamometer is the most reliable and acceptable tool for measuring grip strength. It detects and quantitatively determines the degree of weak grip strength. (ICC = 0.99)
Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation
时间窗: 4 Weeks
The Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation questionnaire is a specific questionnaire available for assessing the functional status of patients with lateral epicondylitis. (ICC = 0.96)
