Summary

50 patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in this prospective, randomized and controlled study. Demographic information of the patients will be taken and recorded. After the patients are numbered according to the order of application, they will be divided into 2 groups as study and control groups according to randomization with the computer program. A total of 5 sessions of ESWT (1000 shock, 1.6 bar, 5 Hz) will be applied to the study group (1st group) for 2 weeks. Patients will be taught median nerve and tendon shifting exercises and will be asked to do it regularly. Patients in the control group (Group 2) will be asked to perform median nerve and tendon shifting exercises only for the wrist. Patients will be evaluated before treatment, at 4 and 12 weeks after treatment. In the evaluation, Boston Carpal Tunnel Inquiry Form, pain severity assessment with VAS (visual analog scale), neuropathic pain intensity with LANSS scale and median nerve conduction velocity with EMG will be evaluated.
