Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), which appears by the pressure exerted on the median nerve in the carpal tunnel, is the most common peripheral neuropathy. Edema, tendonitis, and hormonal changes like hypothyroidism and menopause are involved and manual activity can play a role in increasing nerve compression [Electrohydraulic shockwaves are the high-energy acoustic waves generated by the underwater explosion with high voltage electrodes. These shockwaves are of two types: (1) Radial shockwaves, the surface shocks, which are better for bigger treatment areas of superficial indications. Radial shockwaves are emitted through a pneumatic mechanism. Compressed air fires a projectile, which in turn strikes a metal tool called a transmitter. This impact emits a wave that is transmitted radially, dissipating its intensity as it goes through the different tissue layers. (2) Focused shockwaves, the hard shocks penetrate deeper into the tissues than Radial shockwaves and target one specific area. The Focused shockwaves are beneficial to tissues close to the bone calcifications and non-unions. This shockwave is defined as a noninvasive procedure with a sequence of single-wave pulses at (100 MPa) pressure and (G10 Nsecs) velocity over a short period of (10 Kiloseconds) time generated on the body and concentrated in a specific part of the body [
