Abstract Objective: To determine the effectiveness of Mulligan mobilisation versus Cyriax approach in the management of patients with subacute lateral epicondylitis. Methods: The clinical trial was conducted at the District Headquarter Hospital, Bahawalnagar, Pakistan, from September to December 2018, and comprised lateral epicondylitis patients having symptoms for >2 weeks. The diagnosis was confirmed on the basis of physical tests and musculoskeletal ultrasound. The subjects were randomly allocated to two equal groups A and B. Group A received deep transverse friction and Mill’s manipulation according to Cyriax approach, while group B received Mulligan mobilisation with movement techniques. Patient-related tennis elbow evaluation index was used to collect data which was analysed using SPSS 20. Results: Of the 60 patients, there were 30(50%) in each of the two groups. The overall mean age was 35.27±7.30 years, and 38(63.3%) participants were male.  After 4 weeks of treatment sessions, both groups showed significant improvements (p<0.05) in pain and functional disability scores. Group A showed significantly more improvement (p<0.05) in pain subscale scores compared to group B, while group B showed significant improvement (p<0.05) in functional disability subscale scores compared to group A. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) between the groups on total the patient-related tennis elbow evaluation index score. Conclusion: Both Mulligan mobilisation with movement and Cyriax approach decreased pain and improved functional status in lateral epicondylitis patients.

Eighteen subjects participated in a randomized controlled clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of two physical therapy treatments for tennis elbow. The subjects were divided into two groups: In the neural tension group (NTG), the head of the radius was mobilized and specific physical therapy mobilizations were used to address hypomobility of the radial nerve. The standard treatment group (STG) received ultrasound, transverse friction massage, and stretching and strengthening exercises for the extensors of the wrist. All subjects were treated twice weekly for 6 to 8 weeks. Follow-up data were obtained at 3 months post-treatment. Subjects who received radial head mobilization improved over time (p <.05), while those who did not receive radial head mobilization did not improve. Results of the NTG treatment were linked to the radial head treatment, and isolated effects of the NTG treatment could not be determined. There were no long-term positive results in the STG.

Abstract Background Lateral elbow pain (LEP) or lateral epicondylitis (LE) is a common problem affecting both males and females. Multiple therapeutic modalities are used with different outcomes. Objective The current study aimed at description of the effectiveness of a newly introduced modality, Perineural Injection (PNI) therapy in comparison to the already used therapeutic ultrasound (TUS) as a conventional modality in the treatment of resistant LEP (LE). Patients and methods This is a longitudinal interventional study. Thirty patients of both sexes aged between 21 to 62 years old who had LE were randomly allocated into two groups (15 each). In PNI group, 5% buffered dextrose was injected subcutaneously around the lateral epicondyle once weekly for 8 weeks. In TUS group, continuous US was used 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks. Tenderness grading scale, visual analogue scale (VAS), Patient- Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation Questionnaire (PRTEE) score, and ultrasonographic evaluation were used before and 12 weeks after treatment. Results In both groups, there was a high significant clinical improvement at 12th week after treatment. However, the improvement was better in the PNI group than the TUS group. By US evaluation at 12th week after treatment, there was a significant decrease in hypoechoic areas and disturbed fibrillar pattern in PNI group compared to before therapy (p &lt; 0.001 and = 0.025) respectively. But in TUS group, there was decrease in hypoechoic areas and tendon thickness compared to before treatment (p = 0.02 and 0.026) respectively. Conclusion Both PNI and TUS therapies for LE gave clinical improvement for pain, functional limitations and some ultrasonographic findings (as echogenity, fibrillar pattern and tendon thickness). However, PNI therapy gave better outcome as compared to TUS.
