Effectiveness of the "Tecaretherapy" in Patients With Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy

This RCT aims at investigating the effectiveness of the "Tecaretherapy" in patients with lateral elbow tendinopathy. 60 patients will be randomized into one of the following 3 groups: ‐ "Conventional physiotherapy treatment (CPT)" (massage, eccentric exercises by means of an isokinetic dynamometer, stretching); ‐ "CPT + Tecare" (idem CPT group + Tecaretherapy during the eccentric exercises) ‐ "CPT + Placebo Tecare" (idem "CPT + Tecare" group but with an inactive "Tecare" device) The treatment will include 18 30‐minute sessions. The "Tecaretherapy" consists in using a specific device providing high frequencies (between 300 kHz and 1 MHz) supposed to accelerate the tissues healing process. Outcome sessions will be organized at baseline, after the first 9 sessions, at the end of the treatment as well as 3 and 6 months after the initial treatment session.
