However, evidence supporting the efficacy of these interventions is largely anecdotal or derived from low-quality studies, and a substantial proportion of patients experience persistent symptoms refractory to standard care.\n\nTherefore, the primary objective of this randomized, sham-controlled, assessor-blinded study is to investigate the efficacy of HPLT as an adjunct to standard conservative care on pain intensity, sensory symptoms, and functional capacity in patients with chronic Meralgia Paresthetica.
