Effect of Active Release Technique and Cyriax approach on pain, grip strength and functional performance in individuals with lateral epicondylitis: a randomized clinical trial protocol

Background: Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition characterized by irritation of the tendons that link forearm muscles on outside which can result from using elbow too much. Active Release Technique (ART) defined hands-on approach manages cases to enable identification and treatment soft tissue injuries. Through removal fibrosis adhesions develop in tissues overload frequent use, aim ART, treatment, lessen stress. Deep transverse friction (DTF) Mill's manipulation, are used shortly after DTF, have been Cyriax successfully treat tennis elbow. ART techniques shown promise for epicondylitis sufferers. There hasn't yet any research comparing these two approaches participants with epicondylitis. The examine efficiency technique pain, strength, function. Methods: A total number 60 will be included per inclusion criteria then they further divided into 30 each group. physiotherapy intervention given Groups Group B (Cyriax technique) along conventional 12 sessions spread across four weeks, three times week. Each patient evaluated during baseline weeks Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), hand grip strength dynamometer, Patient-rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) scale. Conclusions: This could if our study's hypothesis found accurate. Registration: CTRI (CTRI/2023/06/053660; 08/06/2023).
