It is now shown as a cure for tendonitis. In a paper due to be published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, the researchers at The University of Nottingham and Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich have shown that curcumin, which also gives the spice turmeric its trademark bright yellow colouring, can be used to suppress biological mechanisms that spark inflammation in tendon diseases. Dr Ali Mobasheri of the ...]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/Curry-As-Cure-For-Tendonitis-88902-1.htm http://www.medindia.net/news/Training-Programme-Effective-in-Treating-Tennis-Elbow-78376-1.htm Training and ergonomic advice are more productive than anti-inflammatory drugs and cortisone injections in treating tennis elbow condition, says a thesis at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. The thesis describes, among other topics, the selection of treatment by healthcare personnel, their experiences when treating patients with tennis elbow, and the results from a training programme for tennis elbow.

It found that injections reduced pain for the first few weeks, but made the condition worse in the long term. University of Queensland researchers analysed the treatment of tendinopathy in more than 2,600 patients from 41 previous studies. In the study, Australian researchers looked at past-randomised trials comparing steroid injections into the tendon with placebo, which is equivalent to no treatment at all....]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/Steroid-Jabs-for-Tennis-Elbow-Cause-More-Harm-Than-Good-75756-1.htm http://www.medindia.net/news/Botox-Injections-can-Offer-Relief-from-Tennis-Elbow-Pain-68243-1.htm Botulinum toxin, which irons out facial wrinkles through injections of the drug Botox, can provide relief for "tennis elbow", claims a new study. But the injection of botulinum toxin needs to be injected properly to avoid potential paralysis, states the research article in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). The study, a randomized controlled trial of 48 patients, was performed at Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex, affiliated with the Tehran University of Medical Sciences that serves patients from all over Iran....]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/Botox-Injections-can-Offer-Relief-from-Tennis-Elbow-Pain-68243-1.htm http://www.medindia.net/news/Strength-Training-Exercise-May-Help-Treat-Tennis-Elbow-54578-1.htm People with pain in the elbow or forearm from playing sports or just from common everyday activities, might be able to use a simple bar and strengthening exercise to alleviate pain, say researchers who are presenting their study results at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine's Annual Meeting in Keystone, Colorado, July 9th-12th. Tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis is a common condition effecting nearly three percent of the general population, not just those who play tennis....]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/Strength-Training-Exercise-May-Help-Treat-Tennis-Elbow-54578-1.htm http://www.medindia.net/news/Study-Says-Rotator-Cuff-Treatment-Provides-Immediate-Tendonitis-Relief-53889-1.htm A study published in the July issue of IRadiology/I says that a minimally invasive procedure to treat tendonitis in the rotator cuff of the shoulder provides immediate symptom relief to the patient. The study found that ultrasound-guided nonsurgical therapy significantly reduces pain from calcific tendonitis of the rotator cuff and restores lasting mobility after treatment. "With this treatment, we were able to establish a single inexpensive and effective treatment for calcific tendonitis of the rotator cuff....]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/Study-Says-Rotator-Cuff-Treatment-Provides-Immediate-Tendonitis-Relief-53889-1.htm http://www.medindia.net/news/Tennis-Elbow-Forces-Clark-To-Miss-The-Summer-Series-45200-1.htm Australian pacer Stuart Clark faces an uncertain sporting future and could miss the remainder of the summer if, as expected, he has surgery to remove bone spurs from his bowling elbow. Clark has carried the injury for months, but succumbed to renewed pain days before the Perth Test against world No. 2 South Africa, in which his needling bounce was expected to cause problems in helpful conditions. A dejected Clark conceded that surgery, which is the most likely course of action, would probably rule him out for the season....]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/Tennis-Elbow-Forces-Clark-To-Miss-The-Summer-Series-45200-1.htm http://www.medindia.net/news/Injection-of-Skin-Cells-Found-Effective-in-Treating-Tennis-Elbow-35231-1.htm Injection of skin cells has been found effective in treating tennis elbow, UK researchers say. The 15-minute procedure uses cells taken from a tiny piece of their own skin. They are then injected into the joint to regenerate the damaged tendon that causes the painful condition. A pilot study on 12 patients has thrown up satisfying results. Eleven were cured within weeks with no side effects and only one patient failed to respond. The pioneering technique could also help treat tendon and ligament ...]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/Injection-of-Skin-Cells-Found-Effective-in-Treating-Tennis-Elbow-35231-1.htm http://www.medindia.net/news/Minimally-Invasive-Treatment-Reduces-Shoulder-Pain-from-Tendonitis-30293-1.htm Radiologists are using a new minimally invasive procedure to treat tendonitis in the shoulder. Ultrasound-guided non-surgical therapy significantly reduces pain from calcific tendonitis of the rotator cuff and restores mobility, according to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). "This is a quick, successful and inexpensive therapy for tendon calcifications," said Luca M. Sconfienza, M.D., from the Department of Radiology at A.O.

"This is the first longitudinal study of arthroscopic treatment of tennis elbow," says lead investigator Champ L. Baker, III, M.D., an orthopaedic resident at the University of Pittsburgh.

A new study evaluating the muscle firing patterns in the forearm demonstrates that grip size has no bearing on the development of tendonitis. Researchers apparently have "gotten a grip" on the relationship between the development of tennis elbow (tendonitis) and the size of the grip on the racket a player uses. A grip that is either too big or too small for ...]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/view_news_main.asp?x=16422 http://www.medindia.net/news/view_news_main.asp?x=14675 Steroid injections are apparently of no use in tennis elbow and a wait and watch approach may be the best, a new study in the BMJ says. Australian researchers tested this approach in one group of volunteers, who were assured that their problem would be sorted out. A second group were given a local corticosteroid injection and advised to gradually return to normal activities. The final group received eight treatments of physiotherapy of 30 minutes over six weeks and were taught home exercises and self-manipulation....]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/view_news_main.asp?x=14675 http://www.medindia.net/news/view_news_main.asp?x=10647 World's leading all-rounder Jacques Kallis will undergo surgery next week to repair a tennis elbow injury that has plagued him since November last year. The 30-year-old South African vice-captain was forced out of last year's tour of Australia because of the problem and is now doubtful for the tour of Sri Lanka in August. 'However, he should be fit and ready for the ICC Champions Trophy in India in September and the 2007 World Cup in West Indies in March,' physiotherapist Shane Jabaar said....]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/view_news_main.asp?x=10647 http://www.medindia.net/news/view_news_main.asp?x=5236 Tennis elbow has been enjoying the spot light following ace cricketer Sachin Tendulkar's and several other players complaining about the condition. However, the condition is not uncommon in the sports arena. Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis as it is called in medical parlance, is an affliction where the outer part of the elbow becomes painful and tender, usually as a result of a specific strain, overuse or a direct bang. The problem occurs following overuse of the arm due to constant and ...]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/view_news_main.asp?x=5236 http://www.medindia.net/news/view_news_main.asp?x=2655 http://www.medindia.net/news/view_news_main.asp?x=2655
