Summary

This study aims to evaluate the clinical, functional, and ultrasonographic effects of two different kinesiotaping techniques added to a standard exercise and night splint program in the treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: the I-Strip kinesiotaping technique group, the Button Hole kinesiotaping technique group, or a control group receiving only standard therapy. The study will assess treatment outcomes over a 12-week period using high-resolution ultrasound (specifically median nerve cross-sectional area and flattening ratio) and clinical parameters to determine the most effective conservative management approach.
