Summary

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common neuropathy of the median nerve. Conservative methods are used in mild and moderate CTS in the treatment. In this study, we aimed to compare the effectiveness of low-intensity laser and ESWT treatments in patients with mild and moderate carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosed with EMG.

Conditions

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Interventions

DEVICE

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy

In addition to wrist splint, ESWT treatment (1.5 bar, 5Hz, 1000 beats) will be applied to the patients with Elmed Vibrolith Ortho brand ESWT device, which we routinely use in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, for 3 weeks, once a week.

DEVICE

Laser therapy

In addition to the wrist splint, the patients will be treated with the BTL-4110 Laser Topline model low-intensity laser device, which we routinely use in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome in our hospital, 5 days a week for 15 sessions of laser treatment.
