Shock wave therapy after flexor tendon repair
This study tests whether a non-invasive treatment called extracorporeal shock wave therapy can help improve hand function after flexor tendon repair surgery. The therapy uses sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce scar tissue, and it may help you regain movement more quickly.
AnkaraAges 18–50 - NCT07744269Recruiting
Hand therapy for early complex regional pain syndrome
This trial compares two hand therapy techniques — contrast baths (alternating warm and cool water) and compression with whirlpool therapy — to see which better eases early-stage complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) after a hand or wrist injury. If you've had hand or wrist trauma and are still in pain, this study might help you find a treatment that reduces discomfort and improves hand use.
