To find effects of mills manipulation versus NIRSCHL EXERCISES on pain ,strength and function in patients with lateral epicondylitis.
Lateral epicondylitis is also known as tennis elbow, an overuse injury that is characterized by pain and tenderness over the lateral epicondyle. The exact etiology has not been well identified, however its commonly associated with repetitive micro trauma from excessive gripping, wrist extension radial deviation or forearm supination. Extensor carpi radialis brevis is the most affected muscle. The aim of this study is to access the effects of mills manipulation versus Nirschl exercises on pain, strength, and function in patients with lateral epicondylitis.
This study will be a Randomized Clinical trial and will be conducted at Pakistan society for rehabilitation of disabled and Mayo Hospital in Lahore. Patients of aged 20-40 years having insidious onset of lateral elbow pain with positive cozens test, Mills test and Maudsley test will be taken. Patients with radial nerve entrapment, cervical radiculopathy and those receiving injections of corticosteroids in last 4 weeks are excluded. The study will include 32 patients randomly divided into two groups A and group B. The study will be completed within the time duration of 10 months after approval of synopsis. Group A will receive mills manipulation while Group B will receive Nirschl exercises. myofascial release therapy will be given to both groups as baseline. both groups will receive 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks (12 sessions), data will be taken by using numeric pain rating scale for pain, hand dynamometer for grip strength and Patient rated tennis elbow evaluation for evaluation of function, at the start of treatment and the end of treatment session. Data will be analysed on SPSS-25.
Key words: lateral epicondylitis, mills manipulation, Nirschl exercises, Patient rated tennis elbow evaluation

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Numeric Pain Rating scale (NPRS) | The NPRS is used to access the patient intensity of pain. Its score ranges from 0-10 with 0 is being the least painful while 10 is worst. Patient is asked to make three pain ratings, corresponding to current, best and worst pain experienced over the last 24 hours. The average of the 3 ratings is used to represent the patient's level of pain over the previous 24 hours. The NPRS is found to be valid and reliable method for measuring patients perceived pain. | 10 months |
| Hand dynamometer | Hand dynamometer is used to measure the grip strength of the patients. It is considered as a primary clinical measure according to internationally accepted normal hand grip strength ratings in Kgs in patients with various musculoskeletal conditions associated with decreased hand grip strength. | 10 MONTHS |
| Patient Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation(PRTEE) | Patient related tennis elbow evaluation is used to access pain and functional disability of LE patients. The index has two subscales,5 questions are related to pain are scored 0-10, for each question related to pain 0 refereed to no pain while 10 referred as worst pain imaginable. The functional disability scale 0 referred to no difficulty while 10 being referred to unable to do.PRTEE is a valid and reliable instrument for LE patients. | 10 Months |
