ESWT Imorove Pain and Function in Carpal Tunnel

Summary

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of adding Shock wave therapy to kinesio taping on relieving carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms in physical therapist females.

BACKGROUND: shockwave therapy is a popular non-invasive therapeutic modality in the medical field for the treatment of numerous musculoskeletal disorders. Shockwaves can generate interstitial and extracellular responses, producing many beneficial effects such as: pain relief, vascularization, protein biosynthesis, cell proliferation, neuro and chondroprotection, and destruction of calcium deposits in musculoskeletal structures. shockwave combined with conventional physiotherapy is an effective noninvasive treatment for mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome that produces greater and longer-lasting results than conventional physiotherapy alone HYPOTHESES: Adding Shock wave therapy to kinesio taping has positive effects on carpal tunnel syndrome in physical therapist females.

RESEARCH QUESTION: Does adding Shock wave therapy to kinesio taping has positive effects on carpal tunnel syndrome in physical therapist females?
