No results posted yet for this study

Summary

When the other usage areas of the manual lymphatic drainage technique in the literature, except for the treatment of lymphedema, were examined recently, it was seen that it was also applied in orthopedic and neurological cases in a limited number of studies. The aim of our study is to investigate the effectiveness of manual lymphatic drainage on clinical and electrophysiological findings in carpal tunnel syndrome

Conditions

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Electrophysical Evaluation
  • Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Interventions

OTHER

manual lymphatic drainage (massage)

Patients will begin treatment with manual lymphatic drainage in the affected extremity. In this context, while the patients are in the supine hook position, lymph drainage will be applied first to the neck and then to the abdomen. After the stimulation of the central lymph nodes, the lymph circulation will be increased by stimulating the axillary lymph nodes of the relevant region. First, the proximal part will be drained and it will be advanced towards the distal. Drainage will be repeated depending on the edema at the distal forearm-wrist level.

OTHER

Splint treatment

The splint routinely given to patients diagnosed with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome will be given to both groups in these patients
