Summary

This study is aimed to investigate the effects of upper extremity manual lymphatic drainage, which is applied to remove edema from the carpal tunnel region in addition to conventional exercise therapy in Carpal tunnel syndrome patients on findings of clinical, ultrasonographic, and electrophysiological.

Conditions

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

manual lymphatic drainage (MLD)

MLD is a manual technique that is applied to the lymphatic system with a pressure of approximately 40-50mmHg and increases the working speed of lymphatic nodules/collectors. Its main purpose is to support microcirculation by accelerating lymphatic flow and to prevent/remove interstitial fluid accumulation that may cause fascial adhesions.
