Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Electrical Stimulation on Radial Nerve in Patients With Lateral Epicondylalgia

"The technique will be performed ultrasound-guided on the radial nerve, the places of the needle's insertions will be the following:~* Needle will be placed at under the lateral intermuscular septum between the triceps brachii and brachialis, approximately 10cm superior to the lateral epicondyle~* Needle will be placed at the upper third of the forearm on the posterior interosseous nerve after passing the arcade of Froshe~The percutaneous electrical stimulation will be realized with a transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) current:~* TENS Frequency 2 Hz~* TENS Pulse width - 250 microseconds~* Duration - 30 minutes.~* TENS Intensity - Increased at an intensity of visible motor response of the innervated musculature and maximal tolerable intensity.~* Administration - One per week~Self-management loaded exercises prescribed by a physical therapist, two times per week."
