Corticosteroid injection provides short-term relief for patients with epicondylitis. However, in a trial lasting one year, corticosteroid injection resulted in a lower complete recovery rate and higher recurrence rate. Physiotherapy appears to improve symptoms in the short-term without affecting outcome at one year.
