Abstract EN
Radial bone adjustment manipulation treatment may be effective to reduce pain rapidly in lateral epicondylalgia patients and the pathological tension in the biceps brachii muscle is highly concerned.
To prove this hypothesis, we conducted a randomized controlled trial and included 35 patients with lateral epicondylalgia for more than 2 months.
Either manipulation treatment ( n = 16 ) or acupuncture ( n = 19 ) was given to these patients for 2 weeks and all patients’ symptoms were followed up for 8 weeks after treatment.
Both groups demonstrated changes in pain VAS score, grip strength, and DASH questionnaire.
Lateral epicondylalgia patients who received manipulation treatment felt pain relief sooner than those who had acupuncture treatments during the first few treatments.
However, both acupuncture and manipulation are effective, while the difference has no significance at the 8-week follow-up.
The trial was registered with Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN81308551 on 5 February 2016.
