Interventions
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy
The affected hand or fingers will be positioned comfortably to ensure optimal access to the fibromatosis lesion. Gel or oil will be applied to the skin to enhance the transmission of shock waves. Shock wave therapy will be administered using the selected energy level and frequency settings. Energy level and frequency will be customized based on individual patient requirements. (1000-1500 shock/session, frequency between 5-12HZ, compression power of 1.5- 2.5 bars).and will receive traditional treatment
traditional treatment
the patients will receive traditional treatment in the form of laser (A low-level laser device with a wavelength of 830 nm and power output of 50 mW will be used as one Of the pain relief methods), ultrasound (An ultrasound device with a frequency of 1 MHz and an intensity of 1.5 W/cm² will be used), stretching and strengthening exercise and splinting.
