Lateral elbow pain (LEP) due to tendinosis is one of the most common musculoskeletal pains of the upper limbs, yet there is no satisfactory treatment. This study was an international, prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled, clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture compared to sham laser in the treatment of LEP (1). The results found significant differences in DASH score between the two groups. Significant differences were also found for secondary outcome measures for VAS pain. There were no severe adverse events. The authors findings suggest that acupuncture has a moderate efficacy in the treatment of LEP. The authors conclude that acupuncture was shown to be efficacious in improving the function of the arm associated with lateral elbow tendinosis. Both the DASH score and the VAS pain on two occasions (at rest and during motion) showed a significant change over time indicating acupuncture as a potential treatment for LEP due to tendinosis.
