Fifty patients diagnosed with tennis elbow were randomly divided into two groups of 25 each. One group received a combination of corticosteroids and casts, while the other group received acupuncture and physiotherapy.&nbsp; A pain line was used to assess pain levels based on VAS criteria. Data were analyzed using SPSS-26 statistical software, employing Chi-square, Fisher&#39;s Exact, Mann-Whitney, one-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests.</span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:normal"><span sans-serif="" style="font-family:Calibri,"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span style="color:#2f5496">Results:</span></span></span></b> <span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">The majority of patients were female (66%) and housewives (46%).&nbsp; There was a significant difference in pain outcomes between the two groups: physiotherapy alone and physiotherapy combined with corticosteroids and casts. This difference was observed across various conditions (pain at rest, pain during activity, and amount of pain evoked during activity) (p <0.05). In simpler terms, corticosteroids and casts were more effective in reducing pain from tennis elbow compared to acupuncture and physiotherapy.&nbsp; Additionally, corticosteroids and casts had a greater effect on hand movement (supination, pronation, extension, and flexion) compared to acupuncture and physiotherapy.</span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:normal"><span sans-serif="" style="font-family:Calibri,"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span style="color:#2f5496">Conclusion:</span></span></span></b> <span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">Our findings indicate that treatment of tennis elbow with a combination of corticosteroid injection and casting is more effective than acupuncture or physiotherapy alone. Corticosteroid injections themselves are also an effective way to relieve tennis elbow pain.</span></span></span></span></span></div> Tennis Elbow, therapeutics, injections,acupuncture, orthopedics, patients 67 76 http://jabs.fums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-2331-4&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Sina Heydari سینا حیدری ajafarnejad0@gmail.com 100319475328460028431 100319475328460028431 No School of Medicine, Imam Khomeini Hospital, Jiroft University of Medical Science, Jiroft, Iran دانشکده پزشکی، بیمارستان امام خمینی، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی جیرفت، جیرفت، ایران Aboubakr Jafarnezhad ابوبکر جعفرنژاد ajafarnejad0@gmail.com 100319475328460028432 100319475328460028432 No Student Research Committee, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran کمیته تحقیقات دانشجویی، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی شیراز، شیراز، ایران Reza Faryabi رضا فاریابی ajafarnejad0@gmail.com 100319475328460028433 100319475328460028433 No Department of Public Health, School of Health, Jiroft University of Medical Sciences, Jiroft, Iran گروه بهداشت، دانشکده بهداشت، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی جیرفت، جیرفت، ایران Rasoul Raesi رسول رئیسی ajafarnejad0@gmail.com 100319475328460028434 100319475328460028434 No Department of Nursing, Torbat Jam Faculty of Medical Sciences, Torbat Jam, Iran گروه پرستاری، دانشکده علوم پزشکی تربت جام، تربت جام، ایران Mahya Goroohi محیا گروهی ajafarnejad0@gmail.com 100319475328460028435 100319475328460028435 No Clinical Research Development Center, Imam Khomeini Hospital, Jiroft University of Medical Sciences, Jiroft, Iran مرکز توسعه تحقیقات بالینی، بیمارستان امام خمینی، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی جیرفت، جیرفت، ایران Akbar Mehralizade اکبر مهرعلیزاده ajafarnejad0@gmail.com 100319475328460028436 100319475328460028436 No Department of Public Health, School of Health, Jiroft University of Medical Sciences, Jiroft, Iran گروه بهداشت، دانشکده بهداشت، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی جیرفت، جیرفت، ایران Fatemeh Amiri Ghanatsaman فاطمه امیری قناعت سامان ajafarnejad0@gmail.com 100319475328460028437 0009-0000-9365-6997 No Student Research Committee, Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery, Kerman University of Medical Science, Kerman, Iran کمیته تحقیقات دانشجویی، دانشکده پرستاری و مامایی، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی کرمان، کرمان، ایران Salman Daneshi سلمان دانشی salmandaneshi008@gmail.com 100319475328460028438 100319475328460028438 Yes Department of Public Health, School of Health, Jiroft University of Medical Sciences, Jiroft, Iran گروه بهداشت، دانشکده بهداشت، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی جیرفت، جیرفت، ایران
