About this study

This study retrospectively analysed surgical outcomes of consecutive 50 cases to investigate the technical standard and clinical effect of extracapsular arthroscopic treatment for refractory tennis elbow.

Read the detailed description

To investigate the technical standard of extracapsular arthroscopic treatment for refractory tennis elbow. Consecutive 50 cases of refractory tennis elbow from 50 patients who underwent extracapsular arthroscopic surgery which performed independently by the same doctor from March 2012 to November 2016 was retrospectively analyzed. The key points of technical standard were summarized, including debridement, decortication and microfracture, suture under arthroscopy and postoperative cast fixation. Visual Analogue Scale(VAS), Mayo elbow performance score and Disability of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand outcome measure (DASH) were evaluated for postoperative results. The effects of various technical points were analyzed by rank sum test, independent sample t test, χ2 test and multiple logistic regression.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mayo Elbow Performance Score

    Use Mayo Elbow Performance Score(MEPS) to evaluate the functional recovery of patients who received extracapsular arthroscopic treatment. MEPS ranges from 0 to 100, higher scores mean a better outcome.

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Visual Analog Scale

    Use Visual Analog Scale(VAS) to evaluate the pain recovery of patients who received extracapsular arthroscopic treatment. VAS ranges from 0 to 10, higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: 24 months

  3. Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand score

    Use Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand(DASH) score to evaluate the functional and pain recovery of patients who received extracapsular arthroscopic treatment. DASH ranges from 0 to 100, higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: 24 months

  4. Activity of Daily Life recovery time

    Use Activity of Daily Life(ADL) recovery time to evaluate the functional recovery of patients who received extracapsular arthroscopic treatment.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Tennis Elbow, run by Peking University Third Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mayo Elbow Performance Score (time frame: 24 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jul 2020.
