The clinical observation of divergent shock wave combined with joint mobilization surgery for the treatment of lateral epi-condylitis of the humerus
Objective To observe the clinical of divergent shock wave therapy combined with joint mobilization surgery for the treatment of lateral epicondylitis.Methods 84 patients in our department form August 2022 to August 2023 were randomly divided into two groups:the control group and the experimental group,including 42 patients in each group 1.Both groups of patients were treated with divergent shock wave therapy(once per week),while the experimental group received elbow joint mobilization surgery in addition to the control group(three times per week).The clinical efficacy of the two groups was judged by the changes of VAS score,grip,elbow joint function Mayo score results before and after treatment(first week,two week,four week,six week).Results There was no significant difference in baseline between the two groups of patients before treatment.The VAS pain score,grip,Mayo score of two groups of patients significantly decreased compared to before treatment(P<0.05),the treatment effect of the experimental group was the most obvious(P<0.05).Conclusion Shock wave combined with joint mobilization has obvious clinical effect in the treat-ment of lateral epicondylitis of the humerus.
