No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Extracorporeal shock wave is a novel treatment for peripheral nerve entrapment. This study was designed to compare the efficacy of focused and radial extracorporeal shock wave for carpal tunnel syndrome.

Conditions

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Interventions

DEVICE

Extracorporeal shock wave

Shock waves are defined a sequence of acoustic pulse characterized by a high peak pressure (100 MPa), fast pressure rise (\< 10 ns) and short duration (10 μs). Different studies and clinical experiments have demonstrated the efficacy of shock waves in the treatment of musculoskeletal system such as chronic tendinopathies or hypertrophic pseudoarthrosis.
