Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Safety, Efficacy, Therapy

To assess the efficacy of mesotherapy with intradermal piroxicam and
lidocaine delivered in comparison with dry needling for the treatment of
lateral epicondylitis (LE).

Secondary objectives 1

  1. Identify clinical, functional, ultrasonographic and biochemical predictors of treatment success/failure and clinical relapse. To assess the safety of mesotherapy with intradermal piroxican and lidocaine delivered in comparison with dry needling for the treatment of LE.

Conditions and MedDRA coding

lateral epicondylitis

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 1

  1. Patients older than 18 years with 1) clinical diagnosis of LE defined as pain over the lateral epicondyle provoked by palpation, resisted extension or gripping; 2) A visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain greater than 40mm (0-100mm); 3) symptoms duration for more than 3 months.

Exclusion criteria 1

  1. 1) other diseases that can alter clinical evaluation detected through history, clinical examination, ultrasound or other exams for comorbidities such as carpal tunnel syndrome, cervical radiculopathy, elbow arthritis, intraarticular loose bodies, previous elbow surgery or clinically significant or recent trauma, fibromyalgia and major psychiatric conditions; 2) VAS score for pain less than 40mm; 3) any of the following treatments during the previous 4 weeks before baseline visit: physical therapy, bandage, mesotherapy and local corticosteroid injection or a combination of these; 4) nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) taken during the week previous to inclusion; 5) pregnancy; 6) allergy to any of the study drugs; 7) severely immunosuppressed patients; 8) known coagulopathies.

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. Changes from baseline in pain intensity quantified by using a 0-100 VAS score. We will consider the treatment effective if a reduction of 20/100 in the VAS score is achieved.

Secondary endpoints 1

  1. - Changes from baseline in a three-point scale that measures pain on resisted dorsiflexion of the wrist and third finger, registered as none, some or definite, at 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 1 month and 3 months. - Changes from baseline in general health evaluation with the short form-36 mental health (SF- 36 MH), at 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months
