Measuring Pain Experience in Individuals With Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy

Description

The study will address the gaps in the pain experience measurement in those with lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET) by building on the current body of literature, as well as applying modern pain science measures. The comprehensive measurement of various biomedical, psychological, and psychosocial constructs will provide pain profiles that will allow for the subclassification of LET to better inform loading prescriptions based on the systemic effects from LET.

  • * Receiving any medical intervention for LET from a physician within 90 days. Medical intervention operationally defined as any intervention requiring a medical state license to administer (injection or surgery) or prescribe (medication applied to or ingested that is not available without a physician script) with the exception of patient education.
