Area of Science:

  • Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Electrical therapy is a common treatment for musculoskeletal disorders.
  • Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a widely recognized modality.
  • Rebox therapy utilizes low electrical currents (0-300 microA), differing from TENS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of Rebox electrical therapy for chronic lateral epicondylitis.
  • To compare Rebox treatment against a placebo in patients with this condition.

Main Methods:

  • A controlled crossover study design was employed.
  • Sixteen patients diagnosed with chronic lateral epicondylitis participated.
  • Outcomes were assessed using subjective and objective measures, including grip strength and pain levels.

Main Results:

  • Rebox therapy demonstrated a significant positive effect compared to placebo.
  • Improvements were observed in grip strength, pain during power grip and lifting tasks, and daily functional impairment.
  • All measured subjective and objective variables showed significant improvement.

Conclusions:

  • Rebox electrical therapy is an effective treatment for chronic lateral epicondylitis.
  • The study supports the use of Rebox for alleviating pain and improving function in patients with this condition.
  • Further research may explore optimal parameters and long-term effects.
