Investigation of the Efficiency of Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy at Different Pulses in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Clinical Trial

Official title:
Investigation of the Efficiency of Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy at Different Pulses in Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrom a Randomized Controlled Study

Clinical Trial Summary

Different parameters have been used in studies investigating the efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave therapy in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. Although extracorporeal shock wave therapy has been shown to have a positive effect on carpal tunnel syndrome, there is no consensus on which pulse rate is more effective. Therefore, in this study, the efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave therapy applied at different pulse rates in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome will be examined.

Clinical Trial Description

The study included 72 patients with CTS aged 18-65 years who applied to Kırşehir Ahi Evran University Training and Research Hospital Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Center. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common compressive neuropathy. In CTS, the median nerve is compressed within the carpal canal, about 1 to 2 cm beyond the distal wrist crease. It is more common in women and is typically more severe in the dominant hand but is often bilateral. Repetitive hand and wrist movements, such as using a keyboard or vibrating tools, have been associated with CTS. Medical conditions associated with CTS include diabetes, hypothyroidism and RA, as well as obesity and pregnancy. Rarely, CTS may be caused by a mass lesion in the wrist, such as a ganglion cyst or neurofibroma, or may be associated with acute trauma to the wrist. The vast majority of CTS cases are idiopathic. CTS treatment is divided into conservative and surgical treatment. Conservative treatment methods are recommended in mild and moderate CTS patients, while surgical treatment is recommended in severe cases. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy is one of the physical therapy applications used in the treatment of Carpal Tunnel. The effectiveness of ESWT in the treatment of CTS will be examined ;
