Brief Summary:
This study is aimed to investigate the effects of upper extremity manual lymphatic drainage, which is applied to remove edema from the carpal tunnel region in addition to conventional exercise therapy in Carpal tunnel syndrome patients on findings of clinical, ultrasonographic, and electrophysiological.
Detailed Description:
Thirtyfour volunteer participants between aged 40 and 60 years, who met the inclusion criteria, will be included in the study. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups experimental and control groups. While the control group will receive only conventional exercises, the experimental group will receive both conventional exercises and upper extremity manual lymphatic drainage. A total of 3 measurements will be made before the treatment, after the treatment and 1 month after the end of the treatment. Symptom severity will be evaluated via Boston carpal tunnel syndrome questionnaire, grip strength via hand dynamometer, pressure pain threshold via digital algometer device, cross-sectional area of the median nerve via ultrasound, and median nerve conduction velocity via superficial EMG device.
