Official title
Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) of Open Debridement Versus Percutaneous Ultrasonic Treatment for Symptomatic Lateral Epicondylitis.
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Lateral epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow) can cause pain and keep individuals from completing their daily activities and require them to miss work. There are currently different treatment options to address tennis elbow. However surgeons do not know if one is better than the other. This study will compare two treatment options for tennis elbow. Participants will either be treated by Ultrasound-guided Percutaneous Tenotomy Technique or Open Surgical Debridement. Traditional open surgical debridement is a surgical procedure that requires the surgeon to make an incision to remove the damaged tissue. This procedure is done under anesthesia in a surgery center. In the Tenex procedure, the surgeon inserts a special needle into the damaged portion of the tendon under ultrasound guidance. Ultrasonic energy vibrates the damaged tissue and it can be suctioned out. This procedure is done with local anesthesia in surgeon's office.
