Clinical Trial Summary

This study compares the effectiveness of peloid therapy and paraffin treatment in carpal tunnel syndrome. Patients receive either 2 weeks of peloid therapy or 15 sessions of paraffin treatment, along with splint therapy for 3 months. Pain and symptom severity are assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTQ). Results are measured at baseline, 4 weeks post-treatment, and a 12-week follow-up.


Clinical Trial Description

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of peloid therapy and paraffin treatment in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome through a randomized prospective clinical trial. Prior to treatment, electrophysiological evaluations will be conducted, and pain severity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTQ) will be utilized to evaluate the type and severity of symptoms. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups: one group will receive peloid therapy for 2 weeks, administered on consecutive days for 5 days a week, while the other group will receive paraffin treatment for a total of 15 sessions, administered 5 days a week. Additionally, both groups will be advised to use splint therapy, especially at night, for a duration of 3 months. VAS scores, BCTQ scores, and electrophysiological evaluations including median nerve distal motor latency (MMNDL), median nerve distal sensory latency (MNSDL), sensory nerve conduction velocity (SNCV), compound muscle action potential (CMAP), and sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) amplitudes will be recorded at baseline, 4 weeks post-treatment, and at the 12-week follow-up. ;
