Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Purpose: To compare the effect of pulsed magnetic field (PEMF) versus ultrasound (US) in treating patients with CTS. Forty postnatal female patients with idiopathic CTS were assigned randomly into two equal groups. One group received PEMF with nerve and tendon gliding exercises for the wrist 3 times for week for 4 weeks. The other group received US plus the same exercises. Pain level, sensory and motor distal latencies of the median nerve (MSDL and MMDL), sensory and motor conduction velocities of the median nerve (MSCV and MMCV), functional status scale and hand grip strength were assessed pre and post treatment

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF)
patients in this group received the pulse electromagnetic field with frequency 50 Hz and intensity 80 gauss for 30 min.The patient was in sitting position, while the forearm was rested on the bed inside the solenoid in supination position
pulsed electromagnetic field
it is a magnetic device for magneto-therapy, it has an appliance, motorized bed, and applicable large solenoids which can be moved in 4 different positions according to the treatment area, and the additional small solenoid for hand treatment with 30 cm diameter
Therapeutic ultrasound (US)
Pulsed mode US was applied over the volar surface of the forearm (the carpal tunnel area) 15 min per session with a frequency of 1 MHz and intensity of 1.0 W/cm2
Therapeutic ultrasound
Ultrasound is applied using a transducer or applicator that is in direct contact with the patient's skin. Gel is a medium which is used on all surfaces of the head to reduce friction and assist transmission of the ultrasonic waves
