“…Some studies have reported the efficacy of US in LET treatment, but with low grade of study design and data, 40 and most of them focused on the comparison between US and ESWT. [41][42][43][44][45] Both Yalvaç B 43 and Özmen T 41 have shown significant improvements in pain, upper limb function, strength and quality of life from baseline after treatment with US. However, they did not have a control group, which would make it unclear whether the efficacy comes from US itself or the passing time, as LET is a self-limiting disease.…”

Efficacy of ultrasound therapy for the treatment of lateral elbow tendinopathy (the UCICLET Trial): study protocol for a three-arm, prospective, multicentre, randomised controlled trial

et al. 2022

IntroductionLateral elbow tendinopathy (LET) is a highly prevalent disease among the middle-aged population, with no consensus on optimal management. Non-operative treatment is generally accepted as the first-line intervention. Ultrasound (US) therapy has been reported to be beneficial for various orthopaedic diseases, including tendinopathy. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of US for LET treatment.Methods and analysisThis protocol entails a three-arm, prospective, multicentre, randomised controlled trial. Seventy-two eligible participants with clinically confirmed LET will be assigned to either (1) US, (2) corticosteroid injections or (3) control group. All participants will receive exercise-based therapy as a fundamental intervention. The primary outcome is Patient-rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation. The secondary outcomes include Visual Analogue Scale for pain, shortened version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand for upper limb disability, pain free/maximum grip strength, Work Limitations Questionnaire-25 for functional limitations at work, EuroQol-5D for general health, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale for mental status, Global Rating of Change for treatment success and recurrence rate, and Mahomed Scale for the participant’s satisfaction. Adverse events will be recorded. Intention-to-treat analyses will be used.Ethics and disseminationEthics committees of all clinical centres have approved this study. The leading centre is Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital, whose approval number is 2021–153. New versions with appropriate amendments will be submitted to the committee for further approval. Final results will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at local, national and international conferences.Trial registration numberChiCTR2100050547.

This method of conservative treatment of orthopedic and traumatological conditions diseases, such as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) has been gaining popularity in recent years. Objective. Review modern (for the last 5 years) sourcesof literature on the use of ESWT in the treatment of ortopedotraumatic diseases of the upper limbs. Methods. Publicationsfrom the search system Google, PubMed, Medline and other relevant sources scientific and medical information with the indication of the subject method and the most common orthopedic and traumatological of diseases of the upper limb were analyzed: «ESWT (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy) AND fracture», «ESWT AND tendonitis», «ESWT AND subacromial impingement syndrome», «ESWT AND adhesive capsulitis», «ESWT AND frozen schoulder», «ESWT AND trigger finger», «ESWTOR AND lateral epicondylitis», «ESWT AND medial epicondylitis », «ESWT AND ostheoarthritis», «ESWT AND tendinopathy»,«ESWT AND injure». Results. A total of 272 scientific articles were found. The articles related to histological, biomechanicaland experimental studies, wounds, burns and post-stroke changes of the upper limbs, diseases other localizations, as well asmethods of conservative and surgical treatment were excluded. 51 articles were selected for analysis. It was determined thatESWT is used in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis; calcifying tendinitis of muscles shoulder tendinopathies, partial injuriesof rotator cuff muscles of the shoulder; subacromial impingement syndrome; adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder; ununitedfractures and delayed union; navicular bone of the wrist; diseases of the hand (carpal tunnel syndrome, snapping finger, Dupuytren's contracture, tendinopathies); fractures of the humerus and clavicle; tendinopathy of the distal tendon of the bicepsbrachii muscle. Conclusions. ESWT is a modern and effective method of conservative treatment of orthopedic and traumatological diseases of the upper limb and can be used both independently and in combination with standard methods of conservative treatment.

Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of shock wave therapy in the complex treatment of athletes with lateral epicondylitis in comparison with standard methods of treatment.Materials and methods: On outpatient treatment in the period from 2019 to 2022. There were 168 athletes diagnosed with Lateral epicondylitis, including 78 women (46.4 %) and 90 men (53.6 %) aged 20 to 45 years. The mean age of the patients was 31.48 ± 6.72 years. The average duration of the disease was 33.68 ± 28.17 days. To achieve the set goals and objectives, a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted. We used a clinical examination of patients, a study of carpal dynamometry of the affected arm, an assessment of the level of pain and quality of life using the QuickDash and Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) scales, statistical research methods, as well as the use of standard treatment for lateral epicondylitis and radial shock wave therapy with an assessment of effectiveness one month after treatment.Results: shock wave therapy in the complex treatment of athletes with lateral epicondylitis, compared with standard methods of treatment, improved the quality of life and reduced pain three weeks after the start of treatment and has a more pronounced effect in the long term (p < 0.05); allowed to reduce the intensity of the signal from the bone tissue (trabecular edema) according to the results of magnetic resonance imaging.Conclusion: the expediency of using shock wave therapy in the complex treatment of athletes with lateral epicondylitis is substantiated, which makes it possible to recommend its use in practical healthcare.
