This study tests if sound wave therapy (ESWT) can reduce muscle stiffness in the wrist of people who had a stroke. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure changes more precisely than standard exams. The goal is to find a non-invasive, drug-free way to improve movement and qual…

This study tests whether adding shock wave therapy to usual treatments (like exercise and physical therapy) can better reduce pain and disability in people with chronic low back pain. About 44 adults with pain lasting over three months will receive either standard care alone or s…

This study looks at whether a compression sleeve (intermittent pneumatic compression) can be used instead of or alongside manual lymphatic drainage to treat arm swelling after breast cancer. About 45 women with long-term lymphedema will be assigned to different therapy groups. Th…

This study looks at whether fear of movement (kinesiophobia) can predict how well people recover from a wrist fracture treated without surgery. Researchers will measure fear levels, wrist motion, strength, and daily function in 34 adults. The goal is to understand if psychologica…

This study looks at how well people understand health information (health literacy) and whether it relates to how they recover from hand and forearm injuries. Researchers will measure grip strength, hand function, and patient-reported outcomes in 117 adults. The goal is to see if…
