Comparing the Use of Physiotherapy, Shockwave Therapy, Prolotherapy, and Platelet-Rich Plasma for Chronic Lateral Epicondylosis: A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial With 2-Year Follow-up
PRP and prolotherapy yielded better clinical and functional outcomes than ESWT and physiotherapy in chronic lateral epicondylosis over a 2-year follow-up. The findings support the potential of these therapies as effective nonsurgical options for long-standing cases.
