Summary

Lateral epicondylitis significantly impacts daily activities and productivity at work, making it a condition of substantial clinical and socioeconomic importance.Despite its high prevalence, clinical significance, and impact on daily life, the optimal management of LE remains a topic of ongoing debate.

This study aims to investigate the efficacy of kinesiotaping (KT) on pain intensity, functional status, and quality of life in patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis (LE).

The study was conducted in the outpatient clinic for level 3 physical medicine and rehabilitation. Patients were randomized into two groups: the real kinesiotaping + home exercise group and the sham taping + home exercise group (randomized by a medical secretary outside the study). A set of widely accepted, literature-consistent primer and seconder outcomes were statistically compared to determine whether one treatment was superior to the other.
