Primary outcomes
- change in the composite score on the Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) — baseline, 2 weeks, 2 months
The primary outcome measure is the change in the composite score on the Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE), which is a tennis elbow-specific questionnaire evaluating disease-specific quality of life. PRTEE includes a 5-item pain scale, with o indicating no pain and 10 indicating the worst pain imaginable; a 10-item functional disability scale, with 0 indicating no difficulty and 10 indicating greatest difficulty (unable to do). The scores range from 0 (good quality-of- life, no pain or disability) to 100 (poor-quality of-life, extremes pain and disability).
