Treatments
Experimental: Group A
Conventional Treatment Patients in this group will be given activity modification and home exercise program training, including stretching and eccentric strengthening exercises. Patients will be asked to perform the exercise treatment in 3 sets of 10 repetitions. Additionally, a splint will be recommended to rest the arm.
Experimental: GroupB
Conventional Treatment and Phonophoresis Patients in this group will receive phonophoresis treatment in addition to a home exercise program and splint. A US device (Intelect 2776 Combo; Chattanoga Group, Inc, Chattanoga, TN) will be used for phonophoresis. The gel containing 10% naproxen will be mixed with aquasonic us gel to better deliver the drug through the body. Continuous mode at 1watt/cm2 1mhz frequency will be applied around the lateral epicondyle for 5 minutes. Sessions will be applied 5 sessions per week for 2 weeks.
Experimental: Group C
Conventional Treatment and Ekstrakorporeal shock wave therapy Patients in this group will receive ESWT treatment in addition to a home exercise program and splint. ESWT; With the MODUS ESWT system, 2 sessions per week will be applied to the lateral epicondyle (2.4 bar intensity, 15 Hz frequency, 1500 pulses) for 2 weeks (Modus ESWT® RadialShockwaveTherapy).
