Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate superiority of short wave (SW) and pulsed short wave (PSW) therapies to each other and to placebo in mild and moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Materials and Methods: Sixty hands (45 patients) with mild-to-moderate CTS were randomly assigned to receive SW, PSW or sham therapy. All the treatments were applied 20 minutes once a day, 5 days a week, for 2 weeks. Nerve and tendon gliding exercises were given to all hands for 12 weeks. The patients were evaluated before and after the treatment and at the 1st and the 3rd months using the Boston Symptom Severity Scale (BSSS), Boston Functional Status Scale (BFSS), grip strength, pinch strength and median nerve conduction studies by a physician who had been blinded to the treatment. Results: Although statistically significant improvements were obtained in BSSS and BFSS scores in all groups (p0.05). Grip strength increased significantly only in SW group at the 1st and the 3rd months (p

Özet

Amaç: Ilımlı veya orta dereceli karpal tünel sendromunda (KTS) kesikli kısa dalga (KKD) ve kısa dalga (KD) tedavisinin birbirlerine ve plasebo tedaviye üstün olup olmadıklarının araştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma klinik ve elektrofizyolojik bulguları ılımlı-orta dereceli KTS ile uyumlu olan 60 el (45 hasta) üzerinde gerçekleştirildi. Olgular KD, KKD ve plasebo olmak üzere üç gruba randomize edildiler. Tüm gruplara 2 hafta süreyle, haftada 5 gün, günde 20 dakika olmak üzere 10 seans tedavi uygulandı. On iki hafta boyunca tüm gruplara tendon ve sinir kaydırma egzersizleri verildi. Tedavi öncesi, sonrası, 1. ve 3. ayda Boston Semptom Şiddet Skalası (BSŞS) ve Boston Fonksiyonel Kapasite Skalası (BFKS), el kavrama ve parmak sıkma gücü ve median sinir ileti çalışmaları, uygulanan tedaviye kör olan bir araştırmacı tarafından gerçekleştirildi. Bulgular: Her üç grupta da, BSŞS ve BFKS skorlarında tedavi öncesi değerlere göre istatistiksel anlamlı düzelme olurken (p0,05). El kavrama gücünde sadece KD grubunda, 1.ve 3.ayda istatistiksel anlamlı artış saptandı (p
