Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
METHOD: In the randomized controlled study with patients who appropriate the inclusion criteria are divided into two groups by simple drawing method. In the control group, the classical physiotherapy program is being applied when the post-operative immobilization period ended, MT is applied to the mirror group in addition to this treatment for 20 minutes and a total of 10 sessions in the immobilization period. Patients who are scheduled for operation due to CTS evaluated that pain (VAS), sense (monofilament test), function (BCTQ, 9-hole peg test) before surgery, 3 weeks and 6 weeks after surgery. The SPSS 21.0 statistical program will be used in the data analysis of the study and the level of significance wiil be accepted as p\<0,05.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Mirror Therapy
Mirror Therapy program for 2 weeks and convantional physiotherapy for 4 weeks. Exercises Frequency: 5 days/week; 2 days with the physiotherapist, other days as home program; 2 weeks in total. Exercises Duration: 20 minutes. Exercises Repetation: 20 repetation for each exercise.
Mirror Therapy
Mirror therapy is the treatment method in which mental performance of movements is performed by observing the movements of the healthy extremities. In the case of mirror treatment, the mirror box is placed on a fixed floor. The mirror is positioned so that the patient's body can be fully centered and the mirror image can be seen. While the affected limb is placed on the rear side of the mirror, the firm extremity is opposite to the mirror. The patient focuses on the mirror image of the moving healthy hand and, through artificial visual feedback, perceives the affected limb as moving. The exercises are as follows: flexor tendon gliding exercises, median motor exercises, wrist and forearm ROM exercises and function-oriented exercises.
Convantional Physiotherapy
The first two weeks involve only immobilisation with plaster. The next 4 weeks, patients do the exercises which follows: 15 minutes water bath, scar tissue massage, flexor tendon gliding exercises, median motor exercises, wrist flexion-extention, median nerve gliding exercise (in addition, one week after plaster removal), hand wrist stretching exercise (in addition, 2 weeks after plaster removal).
Convantional Physiotherapy
Convantional physiotherapy for 6 weeks. Exercises Frequency: 3 times a day, 4 weeks in total. Exercises Duration: 15-20 minutes. Exercises Repetation: 10 repetation for each exercise.
Convantional Physiotherapy
The first two weeks involve only immobilisation with plaster. The next 4 weeks, patients do the exercises which follows: 15 minutes water bath, scar tissue massage, flexor tendon gliding exercises, median motor exercises, wrist flexion-extention, median nerve gliding exercise (in addition, one week after plaster removal), hand wrist stretching exercise (in addition, 2 weeks after plaster removal).
