The Effect of Cassava Waxes Hot Bath on Pain, Pressure Pain Threshold and Hand Function Among Patients With Trigger Finger

participants sat in a comfortable position with their hand placed on a pillow or cushion. Ultrasound gel was applied to the base of the painful finger, and ultrasound therapy was performed for 5 minutes at a frequency of 3 MHz and an intensity of 0.5-1 W/cm. Afterward, the hand was cleaned and immersed in cassava wax heated to 125°F (51.7°C). The affected hand was dipped into the wax for 3 seconds, then removed. This process was repeated for 10 cycles. The hand was then wrapped in a plastic bag and a towel for 15 minutes before the wax was removed and peeled off.
