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.

Conditions

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Interventions

DEVICE

extracorporeal shockwave therapy

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive procedure that uses single-pulse acoustic waves generated outside the body and focused on a specific area of the body. Shock waves promote axonal regeneration of peripheral nerves through various molecular reactions. Although the anti-nociceptive mechanisms of ESWT have not yet been elucidated, ESWT may produce analgesia through biochemical changes in the nerve fiber itself and reduce inflammation of soft tissues.
