Shock wave therapy after flexor tendon repair
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
