Brief Summary:
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Transfer Energy Capacitive and Resistive (TECAR) therapy on pain, symptom severity and function in patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) based on clinical and electromyography (EMG) findings and to compare it with ultrasound therapy (US).
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.
