Sponsor's own description

It was aimed to see if there is any efficacy of short wave diathermy (SWD) in the treatment of ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow (UNE). Ulnar nerve entrapment, following carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), is the second most common upper extremity entrapment neuropathy. Ulnar nerve is compressed mostly in elbow region because of its anatomy. Conservative treatment choices are limited in ulnar nerve entrapment neuropathy and very few studies about UNE, are available in literature. The aim of this study was researching the efficacy of SWD which is a deep heating modality in treatment of UNE. SWD is used either continuous or pulsed mode. Continuous SWD is used for the purpose of heating. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 61 adult patients, who had been diagnosed with UNE clinically and electrophysiologically, were randomly assigned into two groups. Ten sessions of SWD was applied to the patients in the treatment group as 5 sessions per week for 2 weeks. Ten sessions of placebo SWD was applied to the patients in the control group as 5 times a week, for 2 weeks. All patients in both groups were given elbow splints and were informed to avoid symptom provocating activities. Patients were evaluated at baseline, at the end of the treatment and,1 and 3 months after the treatment. Besides physical examination, quick-DASH (disabilities of arm, shoulder, hand) and SF-36 were used to evaluate activities of daily life, dynamometer was used to evaluate grip force and VAS was used to evaluate pain severity.
