Tennis elbow is a common condition affecting both men and women. It causes pain, disability, often inability to work and high health costs. The best treatment is uncertain but injection of a small quantity of a person’s own platelet rich plasma (PRP) appears to be a promising new treatment that has not yet been properly tested. We will perform a randomised, controlled trial to determine the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of PRP injection to see if it is better than either placebo or corticosteroid injection.

网球肘是影响男性和女性的常见疾病。它会导致疼痛、残疾、常常无法工作以及高昂的医疗费用。最佳治疗方法尚不确定，但注射少量自身富含血小板血浆（PRP）似乎是一种有前途的新疗法，但尚未经过适当测试。我们将进行一项随机对照试验，以确定 PRP 注射的有效性、安全性和成本效益，看看它是否优于安慰剂或皮质类固醇注射。
