Brief Summary:
The aim of the study is to compare two different injection sites of low dose botulinum toxin type A with steroid in treating lateral epicondylalgia.
Detailed Description:
Lateral epicondylalgia or tennis elbow is a common painful elbow disorder with a prevalence of 1% to 3% in the general population and has a higher rate up to 14.5% in strenuous jobs. Botulinum toxin type A injection was an emerging option in treating lateral epicondylalgia. In this study, the patients were randomly assigned into three groups:
1. Botox-Epic group received 20 units of Botox injection into lateral epicondyle;
2. Botox-Tend group had 20 units of Botox injected into tender point of muscles;
3. Steroid group had 40mg of triamcinolone injected into lateral epicondyle.
The aim of this randomized controlled study was to compare the effects of injection with corticosteroid and botulinum toxin type A via two different sites in patients with lateral epicondylalgia.
