Conditions:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)
Eligibility:
All Genders
Phase:

Brief Summary
The aim of the project is to test the efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (radial + focused) on clinical outcomes in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Shock wave therapy has alread...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Patients of all genders
- aged above 18 years
- suffering from mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome with typical symptoms like pain, paresthesia, or fine motoric disorders:
- very mild (grade 1): sensory nerve conduction velocity mildly reduced orslowercompared to the contralateral side.
- mild (grade 2): distal motor latency \<4,5ms and sensory nerve conduction velocity \< 40 m/s
- moderate (grade 3): distal motor latency between 4,5 and 6,5 ms and preserved sensory nerve amplitude.
- Patients with bilateral CTS also will be included, whereas the less symptomatic hand will be assessed as well, but receive no therapy.
Exclusion
- Patients with severe CTS (distal motor latency above 6,5ms or absent sensory potentials);
- Prior therapy (even night splints) for CTS within the last six months
- The presence of common systemic diseases, that have known influence on the peripheral nerve system, like diabetes mellitus, polyneuropathy orabusive C2 consumption
- Postsurgical CTS
- Patients with serious injury of the wrist in medical history (e.g. radius fracture) or previous damage to median nerve and more proximal located compression syndrome of median nerve
- Patients with implanted electronic devices like defibrillators or pacemakers
- Pregnant women
- bifid median nerve;
