About this study
Official title: Comparative Effects of Radial and Focused Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapies on Lateral Epicondylitis: A Randomised Sham-controlled Trial
To date, focused and radial types of extracorporeal shock wave therapy have been effectively used in lateral epicondylitis. However, studies directly addressing a comparison between radial and focused types of extracorporeal shock wave therapy in lateral epicondylitis have not been done. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate comparative effects of radial and focused extracorporeal shock wave therapy options on lateral epicondylitis.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Visual Analogue Scale
pain evaluation, higher scores mean a worse outcome.
Measured: 1 min.
Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation

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 8 Apr 2021.
