Summary

It is aimed to compare the effects of different conservative methods on the clinical condition of the patients, hand grip and pinch strengths and wrist muscle strengths in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome.

Conditions

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Interventions

DEVICE

Static wrist splint treatment

Static wrist splint (volar wrist cock-up orthosis): It extends from the proximal of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint to the distal 2/3 of the forearm, supports the wrist from the volar face. It stabilizes the wrist in 20-30 degrees of dorsiflexion and restricts wrist movements. It allows movement of the MCP joints. Patients will be asked to wear this splint continuously at night and for at least 4 hours during the day for 8 weeks.

OTHER

Tendon and nerve gliding exercises

Tendon and nerve gliding exercises will be applied 5 sessions a day for 8 weeks. Each session will hold 10 repetitions and approximately 7 seconds in each exercise position. These exercises involve a sequence of finger movements (for tendon gliding) and wrist and fingers movements (for median nerve gliding).

DRUG

Wrist local steroid injection

Wrist local steroid injection: After proper area cleaning with povidone solution, 1ml Betamethasone dipropionate + Betamethasone sodium phosphate (6.43 mg/ml + 2.63 mg/ml) steroid injection will be applied around the median nerve with a 22 G injector from ulnar side of the wrist proximal crease under ultrasound guidance.
