Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The main objective is to evaluate the efficacy of Cytokine Rich Serum (CRS) obtained by QREM CYTOKINE compared to arthroscopic resection in reducing pain in the medium term (6 months) in patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are: - evaluate the efficacy of CRS compared with arthroscopic resection in reducing pain in the short (15 days, 1 month, 3 months) and long term (12 and 24 months) in patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis. - evaluate other efficacy parameters (functional improvement, pain at wrist extension and grip strength) in the short (15 days, 1 month, 3 months), medium (6 months) and long (12 and 24 months) term. - assess the safety (incidence of adverse events) of CRS in the short (15 days, 1 month, 3 months), medium (6 months) and long (12 and 24 months) term.;Primary end point(s): Reduction of pain to 6 months measured with the EVA scale. The specification of the efficacy parameter is an absolute improvement of the 2-point scale.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6 months after intervention

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Pain assessment: EVA scale Patient-Related Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) Functional outcome Grip force measured with a palm grip dynamometer, in kilos Occurrence of pain with resisted wrist extension assessed during medical examination Complications assessment assessed during medical examination Revision of anti-inflammatory medication and its dose assessed during medical examination;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 15 days, 1-3-6-12-24 months after intervention
