简要总结
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?

结局指标
主要结局
Pain Visual Analog Scale
时间窗: 1 and 12 week
It is a self reported outcome which is a 10 cm line with zero at one end indicating no pain and 10 at the other end indicating maximum pain. Patient will be asked to mark the current pain on the scale and the distance from the starting point (0) will be measured
次要结局
- electrodiagnostic study for median nerve(1 and 12 week)
- Numbness Visual Analog Scale(1 and 12 week)
- handgrip strength(1 and 12 week)
- Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire(1 and 12 week)
