Polydeoxyribonucleotide for Elbow Lateral Epicondylitis

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the synergistic effect of polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) on extensor muscle strengthening exercise (EMSE) combined with extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) for treating lateral epicondylitis (LE) of the elbow in adults aged 18 to 65 years. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the addition of PDRN improve pain reduction as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS)? Does the addition of PDRN enhance functional outcomes such as the Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) and Hand Grip Strength Index (HGSI)? Researchers will compare two groups to see if PDRN provides additional benefits: Group 1: EMSE + ESWT + saline injection Group 2: EMSE + ESWT + PDRN injection Participants will: Perform extensor muscle strengthening exercises Receive extracorporeal shockwave therapy Receive either a saline injection or a PDRN injection at the first outpatient department visit Attend follow-up visits at 6 and 12 weeks for assessments
