Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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?

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

A total of 100 females patients ( two groups each group 50 females) who were diagnosed as having mild or moderate carpal tunnel syndrome were included in the study. One group received shock wave therapy with the conventional physical therapy program including kinesio taping, the second group received the conventional physical therapy program including kinesio taping without shock wave therapy. The patients were evaluated using a Visual Analog Scale-pain, a Visual Analog Scale-numbness, the Boston Symptom Severity Scale, the Boston Functional Status Scale, and handgrip strength tests and Nerve conduction study before treatment 1 and 12 wks after the treatment.
