It occurs due to compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. Various doses of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) were used in previous studies; however, there is still controversy about the most effective dose of rESWT for treating CTS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To compare and investigate the effectiveness of different doses of rESWT on the severity of symptoms, function and median nerve conduction velocity in patients with mild-to-moderate CTS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eighty-three participants (99 affected wrists) were assigned to three groups. Group A received 1000 shocks, Group B received 2000 shocks, and Group C received 1500 shocks. All participants received four sessions of rESWT, once a week over four weeks, in addition to conventional physical therapy. The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) was used to investigate the severity of symptoms and functional level. The median nerve sensory conduction velocity and distal motor latency were measured. ANOVA was used for comparison between groups.
