Key Points

The aim is to compare the effects of Kinesio tape and high-intensity laser therapy alongside physical therapy on pain, grip strength, and function in lateral epicondylitis.
Randomized controlled trial design
Participants received physical therapy with either Kinesio tape or high-intensity laser therapy
Measurements included pain severity, grip strength, and functional levels
High-intensity laser therapy combined with physical therapy showed greater reductions in pain compared to physical therapy alone
Grip strength improved more significantly with high-intensity laser therapy than with Kinesio tape
Functional levels increased notably in the high-intensity laser therapy group compared to both other groups

Randomized trial compares pain and function improvements in patients with lateral epicondylitis, showing laser therapy excels.
