Article Synopsis
  • Chronic lateral epicondylitis (LE), commonly known as tennis elbow, affects mainly individuals over 40 and can be treated conservatively or with advanced options like extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT).
  • This study compared low-energy ESWT to high-energy ESWT in alleviating pain and improving function in chronic LE patients, using visual analog scale (VAS) and Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation Questionnaire (PRTEE) for assessment.
  • Results showed low-energy ESWT was more effective, leading to greater and more sustained improvements in pain and function scores compared to high-energy ESWT, suggesting a preference for low-energy ESWT in clinical practice.
