Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Methods: A total of 42 patients aged between 18 and 65 years, were randomly divided into two groups; group 1, US therapy 5 minutes intermittently for 2 weeks, 5 times a week, for a total of 10 sessions, group 2 TECAR therapy 5 min capacitive (CAP) and 10 min resistive (RES), 3 days a week for 2 weeks, for a total of 6 sessions. Both groups received paraffin therapy and wrist orthosis. All Patients were evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain and paresthesia levels, the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) for symptom severity and functional levels. Additionally, median nerve CSA was measured by ultrasound, at the baseline, post-treatment, first and third months.
