dc.description.abstractAim: In our study, the effectiveness of steroid injection therapy, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and splint use in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, were compared.Methods: A total of 97 patients (28 males, 57 females, mean age: 47 years) with a clinical diagnosis of lateral epicondylitis were included in the study. The patients were divided into three treatment groups. Steroid injection was applied to 30 patients, ESWT treatment to 28 patients, and bandage treatment to 29 patients. Patients were evaluated with Visual analog scale (VAS) and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) scores before and after treatment.Results: A decrease in VAS and DASH scores and clinical improvement compared to pre-treatment were observed in all three groups. Although positive results were obtained with all three treatment methods, we found that the most statistically significant treatment method was steroid injection. Better results were obtained in the group that received steroid injection with the peppering technique. (p<0.05).Conclusion: The results of this study showed that local steroid injection, ESWT application and bandage treatment may be beneficial in the short term in the treatment of patients with lateral epicondylitis. However, it was evaluated that the best improvement in scores was obtained with local steroid injection with the peppering technique, whereas the least improvement was obtained with bandage treatment.
