Effect of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy on Pruritus in Neurodermatitis Patients

The procedures for Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) involve several steps. First, the patient is positioned comfortably, and the physiotherapist explains the treatment procedure. Before the session begins, the device cables are checked for proper functioning. The shockwave type used is Non-Focused/Radial, with a treatment duration not exceeding 10 minutes. The frequency is set at 4 Hz, and the intensity ranges from 0.05 to 0.20 mJ/mm². Each session involves a total of 1000 to 2000 shocks. The treatment consists of four sessions, each held once a week.

Patients in both groups will receive medical treatment in the form of emollients \& corticosteroids for one month.
