Summary

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral nerve compression syndrome. There is insufficient evidence about the efficacy and superiority of conservative treatment methods. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the additional contribution of phonophoresis and Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) to exercise in patients with the CTS.

Study design: A single-blind randomized controlled study. Methods: Forty-five patients with clinical and electrophysiologic evidence of moderate CTS were included in the study. The patients were randomized into three groups. Group 1 received phonophoresis and exercise, group 2 received LLLT and exercise and group 3 received exercise alone. All patients were evaluated electrophysiologically, clinically and ultrasonographically before treatment and 6th and 12th week after the treatment.
