Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Extracorporeal shock wave therapy  A total of 2000 impulses at a frequency of 6Hz will be given at the maximum tender point of common extensor origin, once weekly for 3 weeks  
Intervention  Needle tenotomy  ultrasound guided percutaneous needle tenotomy of abnormal tendon of common extensor origin with a 20-gauge,1.5 to 3 inch needle .With real-time sonographic imaging for continous guidance approximately 20 to 30 needle passes will be made through the abnormal region of the tendon so that entire abnormal region of tendon is repeatedly fenestrated .
