Study Selection and Data Extraction: Only English-written randomized controlled trial (RCT) with data download as well as follow up \u226512 months were acceptable. Raw data were extracted into a predefined worksheet, and quality analysis was conducted based on the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool version 2 (RoB2).Data Synthesis: The standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. Results: Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) could significantly relive pain for lateral epicondylitis patients in the long term (SMD: \u22120.19, 95% CI [\u22120.36, \u22120.02]); however, there was no significant difference between ESWT and control groups in long-term function outcome (SMD: 0.24, 95% CI [\u22120.02, \u22120.49]). No significant difference could be observed between (1) exercise and control groups in pain (SMD: \u22120.21, 95% CI [\u22120.60, 0.18]) or function (SMD: 0.06, 95% CI [\u22120.11, 0.23]), (2) corticosteroids and placebo groups in pain (SMD: 0.70, 95% CI [\u22120.43, 1.82]) or function (SMD: \u22120.02, 95% CI [\u22120.36, 0.31]), and (3) platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in pain (SMD: \u22120.30, 95% CI [\u22120.85, 0.25]) and function (SMD: \u22120.08, 95% CI [\u22120.78, 0.62]).Conclusion: The present conventional conservative management for lateral epicondylitis, with the exceptionof ESWT, a lack adequate evidence supporting their long-term effectiveness.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2340\/jphs.v58.12333","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,24]],"date-time":"2023-08-24T11:27:29Z","timestamp":1692876449000},"page":"67-73","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Long-term effectiveness of conservative management for lateral epicondylitis: a meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.2340","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Qiaojie","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pingping","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chunli","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1183","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"37628","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ahmad Z, Siddiqui N, Malik SS, Abdus-Samee M, Tytherleigh-Strong G, Rushton N.
