Overview

Brief Summary

The rPMS group showed significantly greater within group improvement in symptom severity scores and pinch strength. Regarding electrodiagnostic parameters, sensory nerve action potential amplitude was significantly increased within group treated with rPMS. There was no statistically significant within group difference in conventional therapy. Although overall changes in PMS group were of greater magnitude, no statistically significant difference was found when comparing between groups.
