Background: The carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common neuropathy. The aim of this study was to evaluate effect of a new and non-invasive treatment including extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in treatment of CTS.Materials and Methods: This study is a clinical trial conducted on 60 patients with moderate CTS in selected health centers of Isfahan medical university from November 2014 to April 2015. Patients with CTS were randomly divided to 2 groups. Conservative treatment including wrist splint at night for 3 months, consumption of NSAID for 2 weeks, and oral consumption of vitamin B1 for a month was recommended for both groups. The first group was treated with ESWT, one session per week for 4 weeks, Focus probe with 0.05, 0.07, 0.1 & 0.15 energy and shock numbers 800, 900, 1000 &1100 were used from the first session to the fourth, respectively. The evaluated parameters were assessed before treatment and 3 & 6 months after .Data were analyzed using SPSS version 19, T student and Chi Square testsResults: Allparameters were significantly decreasedin ESWT group after three months. These results remained almost constantafter 6 monthscompared with 3 months after treatment. But only two parameters considerably improved after 3 months of treatment in control group. The entire indexes in control group implicated the regression of results in long term period.Conclusion: It is recommended to use ESWT as a conservative treatment in patients with CTS.
