Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group A: Stretching and Prefabricated Orthoses
Participants in this arm will receive supervised general and lumbrical muscle stretching exercises for 10 minutes, three times per week, for 8 weeks, as well as prefabricated wrist orthoses.
Prefabricated Orthoses
Participants in this group will be provided with prefabricated wrist orthoses to wear during the day and at night to provide support and immobilization to the wrist. Participants will be instructed to wear the orthoses as directed by their healthcare provider.
general and lumbrical muscle stretching
Participants in this group will receive supervised general and lumbrical muscle stretching exercises for 10 minutes, three times per week, for 8 weeks. The stretching exercises will be performed under the supervision of a trained therapist and will include a series of exercises designed to stretch the muscles in the hands, wrists, and forearms. In addition, participants will be provided with prefabricated wrist orthoses to wear during the day and at night to provide support and immobilization to the wrist.
Group B: Orthoses Alone
Participants in this arm will receive prefabricated wrist orthoses only.
Prefabricated Orthoses
Participants in this group will be provided with prefabricated wrist orthoses to wear during the day and at night to provide support and immobilization to the wrist. Participants will be instructed to wear the orthoses as directed by their healthcare provider.
Group C: Placebo Treatment
Participants in this arm will receive placebo treatment consisting of gentle wrist and hand movements.
Placebo
Participants in this group will receive placebo treatment consisting of gentle wrist and hand movements. The movements will be performed under the supervision of a trained therapist and will consist of gentle range of motion exercises designed to mobilize the joints in the hands and wrists. Participants will not be provided with any orthoses to wear during the study.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. Participants must have a moderate level of symptom severity, defined as a score of 2 or greater on the symptom severity subscale of the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ).
3. Participants must have a moderate level of functional impairment, defined as a score of 2 or greater on the functional status subscale of the BCTQ.
4. Participants must be willing and able to provide informed consent to participate in the study.
Exclusion Criteria
2. Participants with severe hand or wrist pain that would prevent completion of the outcome measures or interfere with their ability to participate in the study.
3. Participants with severe cognitive impairment or language barrier that would prevent understanding of the study instructions or interfere with their ability to participate in the study.
4. Participants with any other medical condition that could affect hand function or interfere with test completion, such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or peripheral neuropathy.
5. Participants who have participated in any other clinical trial or research study involving the hand or wrist within the past 3 months, as this could impact hand function and confound the study results.
6. Participants who are unable to comply with study procedures or follow-up requirements, such as attending scheduled study visits or completing study questionnaires.
