Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: main objective of security : is aplication of PRP secure for treatement of lateral epipcondylitis?;Secondary Objective: Secondary objective of efficiency : is aplication of PRP effective for treatement of lateral epipcondylitis compared to corticoid´s standard treatement?;Primary end point(s): Primary end point : safety Safety will be proved by comparing the frequency of adverse reactions of applications in both arms of the study.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 month follow up

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary end point : efficiency The effectiveness of treatment with PRP will be proved by comparing the results of the two branches of study via a visual analogue scale of pain and by DASH score (Disabilities of arm, shoulder & hand).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 month follow up
