Highlight
High-intensity laser therapy (HILT) combined with ulnar nerve gliding exercises significantly enhances nerve conduction velocity and muscle action potentials in post-burn cubital tunnel syndrome.
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) with ulnar nerve gliding exercises also improves outcomes but to a lesser extent than HILT.
Both HILT and ESWT yield sustained improvements in upper limb function at 12-week follow-up versus exercise alone.
No adverse events were reported, indicating safety and tolerability of both modalities in this patient population.
