Summary

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common entrapment neuropathy and is frequently encountered in clinical practice. Although there is no standard protocol for its treatment, conservative treatment methods are preferred. In our study, we aimed to clinically compare the efficacy of high and low intensity laser treatments in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. By using methods such as electromyography and ultrasound, we aimed to provide a more objective evaluation
