Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
It is 3 times more common in women than in men. The fact that CTS occurs more frequently in the dominant hand supports the important role of hand activity in the emergence of the disease. Since the sensory branches of the median nerve innervate the first three fingers and half of the fourth finger, they typically complain of burning, pinprick, tingling and numbness in these fingers in CTS. In some cases, the pain may not match the normal sensory area of the median nerve in the hand.
The diagnosis of CTS is easily made by history and physical examination. Imaging and electrodiagnostic studies are helpful in confirming the diagnosis.
Treatment varies according to the degree of CTS. Different conservative treatment methods are used in the treatment of mild and moderate CTS. The most commonly used methods are splint, local corticosteroid injection (LCE), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) and conventional treatment agents (TENS, hotpack, ultrasound). Treatment modalities for edema and pain should not be ignored during the rehabilitation period. In this respect, kinesiotaping (KT) treatment, which is practical, comfortable and safe for the patient, is one of the complementary treatment modalities with positive clinical results.The purpose of the kinesiological taping (KB) method, developed by Kenzo Kase in the 1970s, is to support the muscle structures and increase their stability without limiting the range of motion of the joint. KB application is used with many indications such as pain, posture disorders, tendinitis bursitis, foot deformities, sports injuries, lymphedema and entrapment neuropathies.
Research on the use of kinesiotaping in the conservative treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome has increased in recent years. The data of our study will contribute to the literature in order to develop the right technique for kinesiotaping in the treatment of CTS.
The estimated number of volunteers expected to participate in the study was determined according to power analysis. The sample size of the study was determined by the GPower 3.1.9.6 program, and by using the finding in a similar study in the literature, it was used with 80% power and 5% margin of error to catch the medium effect size between dependent measurements. It was decided to work with a total of minimum 60 people, 20 in each group.Considering the patients who may be excluded from follow-up in the study, it is planned to start the study with 70 patients. The diagnosis of the disease will be made by clinical physical examination and enmg studies, and no additional technique will be required.
Patients will be randomly divided into 3 groups. (They will be selected by simple random sampling using the closed envelope method, and then Group A (kinesio taping with I tape technique + exercise to tendon and median nerve slipping), Group B (kinesio taping with button hole technique + exercise to tendon and median nerve slipping) and They will be divided into Group C (tendon and median nerve gliding exercise).
In the first group, kinesio taping with the I tape technique described by Dr Kenzo Kase will be applied once a week, a total of 3 times, and the exercises will be taught to the patient and a total of 21 sessions will be applied once a day.
In the second group, kinesio taping with the Button hole technique defined by Dr Kenzo Kase will be applied once a week, 3 times in total, and the exercises will be taught to the patient and a total of 21 sessions will be applied once a day.
In the third group, exercises will be taught to the patient and a total of 21 sessions will be applied once a day.
Kinesiotaping application; It will be done by a physical therapist who has a kinesiology taping course certificate.
I tape technique: In this technique, an I tape is measured and cut from the heads of the metacarpals to the epicondyles of the humerus. The ends of the tape are cut and an x shape is obtained at the ends. The tape is folded to find the middle point, then the paper is torn and, starting from the middle point, the patient's wrist and elbow are moved to the extension of the palmaris longus entrance. distally, below the antecubital fossa, the lower forearm is adhered to the carpal tunnel region with mild-light (15-25%) tension. Taping is applied to the wrist from the dorsal side again with a field correction technique. With the wrist slightly flexed, the middle part of a 15-20 cm I tape is adhered to the distal radius and ulna from the dorsal face with very light-light (15-25%) tension. With one hand, the band is held over the styloid processes of the radius and ulna, and with the other hand, the wrist is extended. The remaining ends are cut and glued without tension, leaving a small gap between both ends.
Buttonhole: In this technique, a kinesio tape is measured and cut from the medial and lateral epicondyle level on the palmar side of the forearm, from the base of the proximal phalanges to the humerus epicondyles on the dorsal surface of the forearm. The tape is folded and the middle point is found there by making 2 short incisions and 2 holes through which it will pass between the 3rd and 4th fingers. (button holes) are obtained. The paper on the back of the tape is torn and the 2nd and 3rd fingers are passed through the holes. The patient's wrist is extended and radial deviation is brought, and the band is adhered to the medial epicondyle of the forearm with very light-mild (15-25%) tension. Then, the wrist is flexed and ulnar deviation is brought, and it is adhered to the lateral epicondyle with very light-mild (15-25%) tension. The last 3-5 centimeters are adhered without tension. Taping is applied to the wrist from the dorsal side again with a field correction technique. With the wrist slightly flexed, the middle part of a 15-20 cm I tape is adhered to the distal radius and ulna from the dorsal face with very light-light (15-25%) tension. With one hand, the band is held over the styloid processes of the radius and ulna, and with the other hand, the wrist is extended. The remaining ends are cut and glued without tension, with a small gap between both ends.
