Overview

This analysis compares ultrasound therapy and extracorporeal shock wave therapy for tennis elbow, indicating the latter's superior pain relief.

Key Points

  • Extracorporeal shock wave therapy significantly reduced pain intensity compared to ultrasound therapy.
  • Patients treated with extracorporeal shock wave therapy showed remarkable improvement in grip strength post-treatment.
  • Pain intensity was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) across both treatment groups.
  • Findings suggest extracorporeal shock wave therapy is more effective for managing tennis elbow symptoms.
