Summary

This study tested a non-invasive treatment called radial pressure wave therapy for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. 60 adults received three weekly sessions of either a constant or modulated dose of the therapy. Researchers measured pain, hand function, and nerve signals at 2 and 4 months to see if the treatment helps without surgery or medication.
