|---|---|---|---|
| Group A: ESWT plus HILT in addition to Traditional Physical Therapy Exercise . | Experimental | patients will receive Extraporeal Shock wave therapy at the area of the wrist for 5 minutes 1 time a week for 2 months, then High-intensity laser therapy at the site of the carpal bones for 5 minutes 2 times a week. Then a program of traditional physical therapy exercises for post-burn carpal tunnel syndrome for 30 minutes of stretching exercise for the wrist and carpal region with the fingers flexed and extended. Followed by strengthening exercises for the wrist flexors, extensors, radial and ulnar deviation muscles. Mobilizing exercise, tendon gliding exercise, and instructed to wear a wrist splint at night. |

| Pain Intensity. | Intensity of pain will be measured by visual analogue scale at baseline and at the end of the 3months. Visual analogue scale is a straight horizontal line of fixed length, usually 100 mm. The ends are defined as the extreme limits of the parameter to be measured (symptom, pain, health) orientated from the left (worst) to the right (best).Using a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity | 2 months |

| Symptoms and Functions. | Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) The BCTQ evaluates the severity of symptoms and the functional status of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. The symptom severity scale (SSS) consists of 11 questions covering symptom severity including night and day numbness, pins and needles, pain, and muscle weakness and scores from 1 point (mildest) to 5 points (most severe). The functional status scale (FSS) consists of 8 points concerning the patient's problems in performing specific activities such as writing, holding a book, buttoning up the shirt, holding the phone, opening jam jar, doing hard house chores, taking a bath, carrying a shopping bag, and dressing ranging from 1 point (no difficulty with the activity) to 5 points (cannot perform the activity at all). The higher the score, the greater the severity of the symptoms, and the disability of the patient would be |
