The effectiveness of various external applications (strapping and splinting) on grip strength, pain intensity, symptom level, and functional status in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) has been compared in this study. Comparative testing was conducted with exercise and mobilization applications (carpal bone mobilization, yoga, tendon and nerve gliding exercises, neurodynamic mobilization, instrument-assisted soft tissue massage, and standard soft tissue massage) in control groups, placebo groups, and groups undergoing other non-surgical treatments (orthotic application, steroid injections, and other physical agents). Criticisms regarding these studies include bias, lack of blinding, and small intergroup differences. In the literature, evidence supporting the beneficial effects of splinting and strapping applications on CTS is reported to be of low quality, emphasizing the need for higher-quality studies. In light of the information obtained, this study aims to compare the effects of different external applications (strapping and splinting) on grip strength, pain intensity, symptom level, and functional status in CTS.
