Shock waves may boost hand recovery after tendon surgery
NCT ID NCT07320807
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding shock wave therapy to standard hand rehab can improve movement, reduce pain, and increase grip strength after a flexor tendon injury. About 56 adults who had tendon repair surgery 8-12 weeks ago will take part. Half will get usual rehab, and the other half will get rehab plus shock wave therapy, so researchers can compare results.
