Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

When the other usage areas of the manual lymphatic drainage technique in the literature, except for the treatment of lymphedema, were examined recently, it was seen that it was also applied in orthopedic and neurological cases in a limited number of studies. The aim of our study is to investigate the effectiveness of manual lymphatic drainage on clinical and electrophysiological findings in carpal tunnel syndrome

study group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

manual lymphatic drainage (massage)

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients will begin treatment with manual lymphatic drainage in the affected extremity. In this context, while the patients are in the supine hook position, lymph drainage will be applied first to the neck and then to the abdomen. After the stimulation of the central lymph nodes, the lymph circulation will be increased by stimulating the axillary lymph nodes of the relevant region. First, the proximal part will be drained and it will be advanced towards the distal. Drainage will be repeated depending on the edema at the distal forearm-wrist level.

Splint treatment

Intervention Type OTHER

The splint routinely given to patients diagnosed with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome will be given to both groups in these patients
