Shock wave therapy for hand function after burn and nerve injury
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if a special type of sound wave therapy (ESWT) can help restore hand movement and feeling in people who have nerve damage and thick scars from a burn on their dominant hand. It may offer a new way to improve hand function after a burn injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a deep second-degree or third-degree burn on your right (dominant) hand.
- Your burn was treated with a skin graft.
- A nerve injury in your hand was confirmed by a special test (EMG).
- Your burn happened less than 6 months ago.

This trial tests whether a hand robot that responds to your muscle signals can help improve hand function after a burn injury with nerve damage. It is for people who have healed enough to start hand therapy but still struggle with movement.
This trial tests whether shock wave therapy can help reduce muscle tightness in the wrist and hand after a stroke. It may be an option if you have had one stroke, are between 35 and 65 years old, and still have stiffness that bothers you.
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.
This study tests a special therapy that uses energy (capacitive and resistive) to improve hand function in people who have carpal tunnel syndrome after a burn injury. The goal is to see if this treatment can help you use your hand better.
This study tests whether extracorporeal shock wave therapy (non-surgical shock waves delivered from outside the body) can improve movement and sensation after a recent spinal cord injury. It may help people recover motor (movement) and sensory (feeling) function within months after injury.
This trial tests whether shockwave therapy can reduce muscle tightness in the elbow and wrist caused by spinal cord injury. It may help make daily tasks like dressing or bathing easier.
