E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To demonstrate that the intramuscular injection of botulinum toxin at paralytic doses coupled with a local injection of corticosteroids is more effective (i) than the injection of corticosteroids alone and (ii) than the injection of botulinum toxin alone, to reduce pain at 6 months, in patients with lateral epicondylitis. |
Démontrer que l'injection intramusculaire de toxine botulique à des doses paralysantes couplée à une injection locale de corticoïde est plus efficace (i) que l'injection de corticoïde seule et (ii) que l'injection de toxine seule pour réduire la douleur à 6 mois chez les patients atteints d'une épicondylite latérale. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- To show an improvement in the quality of life for the patients and an early resumption of sporting or professional activity. - To evaluate the tolerance of the treatment by measuring the gripping force and collecting the adverse effects that may be encountered.
|
- Montrer l'amélioration de la qualité de vie des patients et un effet positif sur le retour à l'activité professionnelle ou sportive ; - Évaluer la tolérance du traitement en mesurant la force de préhension et en recueillant les effets indésirables éventuellement rencontrés.
