ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of steroid injection and kinesio taping (KT) in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis.DesignA total number of 84 patients were randomized into three groups. Group 1 was given steroid injection, group 2 received KT, and group 3 received both. Pain was measured using a visual analog scale, functional status was measured using a quick form of the Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire, pain-free grip strength was measured using a dynamometer, and the pressure pain threshold was measured using an algometer. All evaluations were performed before treatment and at the third and twelfth weeks after the treatment.ResultsTwenty-eight patients were included in each group. A statistically significant difference was found between the pretreatment and posttreatment evaluations of all groups in the third and twelfth weeks after treatment. When …
