HA has traditionally been used to treat knee osteoarthritis. There are a small number of studies in the literature that suggest that HA injections can be very effective for tendinosis. Although LE has been studied with literally hundreds of articles published, very little treatment has proven to be efficacious. This study will investigate the effectiveness of hyaluronate in treatment of chronic LE. This will include a two arm study with one formulation of HA tested against saline injections as the control.', 'detailedDescription': 'Patients will be randomized and blinded into one of the two arms. Patients will receive 3 injections total spaced over a 4 week period. After the injections are completed, patients will return for evaluation at 3, 6 and 12 months from the initial injection. A total of 72 patients will be divided into the 2 groups. The questionnaires will be administered by a research assistant blinded to the randomization. Three different outcomes measures will be collected, all patient-oriented including the Patient Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE), Visual Analog Score (VAS) for pain while at rest and with maximum grip, and the short form Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (quickDASH).\n\nThe primary outcome measure will be the VAS for pain at 3 months from the initial injection. All measures will be evaluated at baseline then again at 12 months from the initial injection.\n\nHA formulation will be Intragel (IBSA) which include 2cc with a concentration of 16mg per 2cc. The molecular weight with Intragel averaging 800-1200 kiloDaltons.\n\nThe syringes will be coded and the injections blinded. The injections will be given 1cm distal to the lateral epicondyle at the site of maximum tenderness. The needle will be introduced to the depth of the bone then withdrawn 1-2mm. The injection will be given in two locations in and around the point of maximum tenderness.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '80 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Included will be patients older than 18 years with lateral epicondylitis.
