Radial Pressure Wave Therapy With or Without Parameter Modulation for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Sponsor: Armando Tonatiuh Avila Garcia
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the clinical effects of radial pressure wave therapy in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive radial pressure wave therapy using either a modulated or a constant parameter dosing protocol. The intervention consists of three weekly sessions, and outcomes will be assessed at baseline, 2 months, and 4 months after the first session. The primary outcome is pain intensity measured by the Visual Analog Scale, while secondary outcomes include functional status evaluated with the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire, grip strength, and electrodiagnostic parameters of the median nerve. The study is conducted in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Service of the Antiguo Hospital Civil de Guadalajara "Fray Antonio Alcalde," and has been approved by the hospital's Ethics Committee.

Conditions
Interventions
Fixed-Dose Radial Pressure Wave Therapy.
Radial pressure wave therapy will be delivered using the BTL-6000 device. Parameters such as frequency and pressure will remain constant throughout each session. Each participant will receive one session per week for three weeks. The treatment will follow a standardized protocol previously established in the literature and based on patient tolerance.
Modulated-Dose Radial Pressure Wave Therapy.
The BTL-6000 device will be used to deliver therapy with dynamic modulation of frequency and/or pressure within each session, following a structured protocol aiming to optimize clinical response.
