BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE

Lateral elbow tendinopathy (also known as tennis elbow) is a common overuse injury. Previous research has examined the effectiveness of several potential treatments, including heavy slow resistance exercise (HSR), corticosteroid injection (CSI) and tendon needling (TN).

This study was a randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of three treatment regimes: (1) HSR with placebo injection; (2) HSR combined with CSI; and (3) HSR combined with TN.

Lateral elbow tendinopathy is a common overuse injury.

Clinicians should consider using heavy slow resistance training for treatment of lateral elbow tendinopathy.

METHODS

60 patients with chronic unilateral lateral elbow tendinopathy were randomized into three groups: HSR plus placebo injection of saline solution HSR plus corticosteroid injection HSR plus tendon needling
