Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
three-sessions of ESWT
Active three-sessions of ESWT ( once a week for 3 weeks) was given.
ESWT
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).
one-session of ESWT
One-session of ESWTactive ESWT was given.
ESWT
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).
Night splint
The night splint was firmly fixed in a neutral position to immobilize the affected wrist. Patients were ordered to wear the splint while resting at night and at least 8 hours per day during the period of study. Another 3 sessions of sham ESWT was given.
