This technology produces selective thermal coagulative changes over a small controlled area while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected and without impacting the integrity of the dermis.Methods: A clinical study evaluating 29 patients (Age: 39 – 60, Male: 59%, Female 41%) for the effectiveness, safety and patient tolerance of Intense Therapeutic Ultrasound (ITU) for treatment of chronic (average length of symptoms prior to treatment: 12.9 months), subcutaneous lateral Epicondylitis musculoskeletal tissue pain reduction was conducted.
