Shock Wave on Pillar Pain After Carpal Tunnel Release in Hand Burn
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
"In burn cases, the reported causes of CTS are increased volume of carpal tunnel content due to edema and synovitis, wrist hyperextension, tight dressing, fibrosis, and direct burn to the nerve. There are two types of pain that occur in the palm of the hand after carpal tunnel surgery: incisional pain and pillar pain. The incision pain typically only lasts for a few days or weeks after surgery, while the pillar pain occurs on the sides of the incision in the thicker parts of the palm, called the thenar and hypothenar eminences. This is where the transverse ligament attaches to the carpal bones, forming the carpal tunnel. So, in this study we will find out if shock wave therapy has therapeutic effect on pillar pain after carpal tunnel release in hand burn.
