About

Comparison between 2 groups of chronic lateral epicondylitis, to determine the effect of ozonated media phonophoresis on chronic lateral epicondylitis.

Full description

40 patients (male and female), patients age would be ranged from 30 to 50 years, would be randomly allocated using sealed envelope into randomly two matched group (A and B), Group A (Experimental): 20 patients would receive ultrasonic with ozonated gel as a coupling medium (phonophoresis) (1 MHz, 1 W/cm2continuous mode) for 5 min. plus, conventional physical therapy program consists of (conventional TENS (100 Hz) for 30 min - hot pack for 20 min- stretching and strengthening exercises, wrist rest splints). 3 times per week for 4 weeks.

Group B (control):20 patients will receive conventional physical therapy program consists of (conventional TENS (100 Hz) for 30 min - hot pack for 20 min- stretching and strengthening exercises, wrist rest splints) 3times per week for 4 weeks.
