Conventional, High-Intensity Laser, and Magnetic Field Therapies in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

NCT07709156 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 48

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This retrospective study aims to compare the clinical effectiveness of conventional physical therapy, high-intensity laser therapy (HILT), and pulsed magnetic field therapy (PMFT) in individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The study evaluates changes in pain, symptom severity, functional status, hand grip strength, and electrophysiological findings following treatment. Researchers will compare the outcomes of the three treatment approaches to determine whether HILT or PMFT provides additional clinical benefits beyond conventional therapy. The findings may help clinicians select the most appropriate conservative treatment strategy for patients with CTS.
