This study investigated the efficacy of pulsed magnetic field therapy (PMFT) versus surgical intervention in case of mild and moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded study. Forty five female patients diagnosed as mild to moderate CTS were included in the study. Their ages were 35:55 years with mean age 41 ± 2.5 years. Patients were divided rando...

Abstract Aim We aim to identify risk factors associated with higher scores of CTS symptoms severity and functional limitations on the BCTQ. Method This cross-sectional study was conducted among 366 female participants. The data mainly collected using Demographics were added study's complete questionnaire; Risk included: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Diabetes Mellitus (DM), hypothyroidism, number p...

Recently, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has been shown to be a novel therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). However, previous studies did not examine the diverse effects of different-session ESWT for different-grades CTS. Thus, we conducted a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled study. Sixty-nine patients (90 wrists) with mild to moderate CTS were randomized into 3 groups....

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the levels anxiety, health anxiety and somatosensory amplification in patients who presented with clinical manifestation Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) without electromyography findings.
 Materials Methods: Patients applied Physical Therapy Rehabilitation outpatient clinic, respectively, were diagnosed CTS findings included study. determined ...

Purpose: Failed carpal tunnel surgery poses a challenge for the attending surgeon(s). Numerous revision techniques have been reported in literature, with evidence of long-term improvement. However, studies exploring how early could symptomatic improvement be detected are scarce. The objective this study was to identify speed symptom(s) recovery after repeated decompression technique using an op...

BACKGROUND The symptoms in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) can be ameliorated by open and endoscopic release of the transverse carpal ligament. It is unknown whether a mini-incision or endoscopic carpal tunnel release more effectively reverses the pathological changes that are observed in the median nerve in patients with CTS and these morphologic changes correlates with the subjective outcomes af...

Background: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is the most common compression neuropathy of upper extremity. Even though traditional open release has been considered as standard approach for median nerve decompression, various other techniques are gaining popularity. The aim this study was to compare clinical and neurological outcomes between limited incision approach. Methods: Twenty-eight patients ...

Aim: The most frequent type of peripheral entrapment neuropathy is carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), which caused by compression the median nerve at wrist level. Ultrasound (US) and low-intensity laser therapy (LILT) are among commonly used physical methods in treatment CTS. aim this study to examine efficacy US LILT CTS their superiority each other.
 Material Method: Patients who were admitte...

Background The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) is a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) used to symptom severity and function in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Despite its wide use, investigation of measurement properties using modern psychometric methodologies limited. Methods Completed BCTQ data collected routinely the Canterbury clinic was investigate structural validity through...
