Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Paraffin Bath Therapy
Paraffin bath therapy is a physical therapy method that can create a temperature increase of 7.5 °C in the joint capsule and 4.5 °C in the muscle.
Device named 'Fizyowax 1300' (Fizyomed, Turkey).
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a noninvasive treatment that involves delivery of shock waves to injured soft tissue to reduce pain and promote healing.
Device named 'Elettronica Pagani,Italy' and will be used with radial probe.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index)
Time Frame: at baseline (before the treatment)
PUKI is a 19-item self-report scale that evaluates sleep quality and disturbance in the past month. The total score ranges from 0 to 21. A total score greater than 5 indicates "poor sleep quality"
at baseline (before the treatment)
PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index)
Time Frame: 2 weeks after baseline (at the end of treatment)
PUKI is a 19-item self-report scale that evaluates sleep quality and disturbance in the past month. The total score ranges from 0 to 21. A total score greater than 5 indicates "poor sleep quality"
2 weeks after baseline (at the end of treatment)
PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index)
Time Frame: 6 weeks after baseline (one month after the end of treatment)
PUKI is a 19-item self-report scale that evaluates sleep quality and disturbance in the past month. The total score ranges from 0 to 21. A total score greater than 5 indicates "poor sleep quality"
6 weeks after baseline (one month after the end of treatment)
NEADL (Nottingham extended activities of daily living ) scale
Time Frame: at baseline (before the treatment)
It consists of 4 sub-sections: mobility (6 items), kitchen (5 items), indoor (5 items) and leisure time activities (6 items). The answer to each question has a rank between 0 and 3 points. The sum of the rank values of 22 items varies between 0 and 66 points, with 0-worst and 66-best values in daily activities.
at baseline (before the treatment)
NEADL (Nottingham extended activities of daily living ) scale
Time Frame: 2 weeks after baseline (at the end of treatment)
