Comparison of the Efficacy of Dextrose Prolotherapy and Mesotherapy in Lateral Epicondylitis

For 1. group, a solution containing 1 cc each of lidocaine, pentoxifylline, vitamin B complex diluted 1/10 with saline, thiocolchicoside, and meloxicam diluted 1/5 with saline will be made. A 30 gauge, 4 mm mesotherapy injector will be used for the application. The lateral epicondyle will be the site of an intradermal injection. Of that amount, 2.5 cc will be applied point-by-point at intervals of 1-2 cm, and the remaining 2.5 cc will be applied using the napage method, 0.1 cc of solution were given with each injection. This injection will be applied once a week for a total of 4 sessions. Group 2 received dextrose prolotherapy: A 22 gauge syringe was used to apply a total of 5 cc of 15% dextrose solution (a combination of 3.75 ml 20% dextrose and 1.25 mg 2% lidocaine) to at least 5 most sensitive points of the lateral epicondyle. It was injected 3 times with 3 weeks intervals.
