| Objective: To investigate the clinical effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave (ESW) with muscle energy technique on humeral epicondylitis. Methods: Fifty-two patients with humeral epicondylitis enrolled in this study were randomly assigned to control group or ESW combined with muscle energy technique group (n=26 each). Patients were evaluated with standard questionnaires including visual analogue scale (VAS) and disability of arm shoulder and hand (DASH) at baseline, 2 and 4 weeks after treatment. Result: After treatment, the scores of VAS and DASH in both groups were obviously lower than those before treatment (P<0.05). VAS and DASH scores in combination group were significantly lower than those in the control group at 2nd, and 4th week after treatment. Conclusion: The clinical effectiveness of ESW with muscle energy technique on humeral epicondylitis was obviously better than that of conventional treatment for pain and function. |
