Comparison of the Efficacy of Mesotherapy and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in Patients With Lateral Epicondylitis: A Prospective Randomised Controlled Trial

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure, Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of mesotherapy in patients with lateral epicondylitis and to determine whether it is as effective as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT). Is mesotherapy an effective method in patients with lateral epicondylitis? Researchers will compare Mesotherapy to extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in patient with Lateral epicondylitis. Patients will be randomly assigned to either the Mesotherapy group or the ESWT group using a closed envelope method. * Group 1 (Mesotherapy group): Patients will receive a total of 5 sessions of mesotherapy, with one session every 7 days. * Group 2 (ESWT group): Patients will receive a total of 5 sessions of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), with one session every 7 days. Patients will be assessed at three time points: before treatment, 30 minutes after the completion of the treatment, and 12 weeks after the completion of the treatment

Treatments
Active_comparator: Group 1 (Mesotherapy group)
The intradermal mesotherapy will be applied to the painful points in the elbow using a 4 mm long, 30G needle with a point-by-point technique at a 90-degree angle. The injection volume per point will be 0.1 cc. Following this, a nappage technique with a 45-degree angle will be applied around the common extensor tendon.Mesotherapy solution will contain 1 cc 0.1% lidocaine, 1 cc pentoxifylline, 1 cc thiocolchicoside, 1 cc meloxicam 1⁄4 diluted with 0.9% physiological isotonic saline. Patients will receive a total of 5 sessions of mesotherapy, with one session every 7 days.
Active_comparator: Group 2 (ESWT group)
For patients in Group 2, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy will be applied to the lateral epicondyle area at 10-15 Hz frequency, 1.5-2.5 bar energy density, and 2000 pulses. Patients will receive a total of 5 sessions of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), with one session every 7 days.
