Shock waves vs lasers: which eases Burn-Related nerve pain better?
NCT ID NCT07102992
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested two non-invasive treatments—high-intensity laser therapy and shock wave therapy—for people with cubital tunnel syndrome after an arm burn. 75 adults with healed burns and confirmed ulnar nerve problems received either laser or shock wave therapy plus nerve gliding exercises. The goal was to see which approach better improved nerve function and arm disability over 12 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
high-intensity laser therapy and extracorporeal shock wave therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a non-invasive treatment option to improve nerve function and arm use after burn-related cubital tunnel syndrome.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with 75 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapies are compared as add-ons to exercises, and their standalone benefit is unclear.
