The prospective study included 32 patients with radiohumeral epicondylitis. They are by single-blind method divided into three groups: Group I (n = 11) was treated with low power laser therapy (904 nm, 5 kHz, in the dose of 1 J/cm2); Group II (n = 11) was treated with corticosteroid infiltration and group III (n = 10) was treated with combination of initial infiltration and subsequent laser therapy. The estimation of therapy effect was done by pain intensity follow-up with modified McGuill's questionnaire. The results of the first control examination, 7 days after the therapy onset, demonstrated significantly higher analgesic effect to be achieved in the group of patients treated with combination of corticosteroid infiltration and laser therapy. Similar results were noticed in the other two groups after the repeated same treatment.
