Observation and Nursing of the Therapeutic Effect of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy on Tennis Elbow

Abstract

Tennis elbow is a chronic inflammatory injury caused by the connection between the humerus and the tendon attachment point in the elbow. Further in-depth research is needed to cure tennis elbow with extracorporeal shock waves. This article selects 400 tennis elbow patients who were recuperated at Southwest Medical University in 2020 and uses extracorporeal shock wave therapy and ultrasound therapy to compare and analyze the visual analogue scale of pain and positive rate of traction characteristics before and after treatment and summarizes nursing care. The research results indicate that after extracorporeal shock wave and ultrasound treatment, the lower the pain visual analogue scale and the faster the positive rate of traction features in patients, and the better the treatment effect of extracorporeal shock wave. The most accurate impact treatment site is the most painful area that the patient usually feels. The research results provide theoretical data support for the efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave therapy for tennis elbow.
