About this trial
The aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the accuracy and consistency of the blinded needling procedure by evaluating the dry needling procedure under ultrasound guidance in patients diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis and with at least one active trigger point (MTrP) in the forearm extensor muscles. The study is a prospective, double-blind validation study.
Participants: Volunteers aged 18-70 years, who have pain in the lateral epicondyle region for at least 6 weeks and who have active trigger points in the forearm extensor muscles detected by physical examination will be included in the study. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants.
