The Effectiveness of Physical Therapy Modalities in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Carpal tunnel syndrome is considered to be the most common entrapment neuropathy. Conservative treatment is recommended in the mild and moderate stage of CTS. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of physical therapy modalities in carpal tunnel syndrome.

Clinical Trial Description

Conservative treatment is recommended in the mild and moderate stage of CTS and should involve splinting, steroid injections, oral steroids and ultrasounds .

However, the results of some research studies have showed the beneficial effect of photobiomodulation as well as nerve and tendon gliding exercises in non-operative treatment .

Patients were divided into two groups. The one group received low-level laser therapy (LLLT); the other group underwent ultrasound treatment. Additionally, nerve and gliding exercises were administered in both groups.

The purpose of this trial is to assess the therapeutic efficacy of ultrasound treatment and low-level laser therapy combined with nerve and tendon gliding exercises and to compare the two regimens. ;
