Abstract

Background: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a collection of symptoms due to compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel at the wrist, precisely under the flexor retinaculum. Symptoms that arise in CTS include numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in the hands and wrists. In this CTS condition, physiotherapy can play a role in reducing pain in the wrist. Therefore, from several studies that we got, giving exercise therapy combined with electrophysical modalities is effective for reducing the symptoms that arise in the condition of carpal tunnel syndrome. Research purposes: To determine the effect of a combination of exercise therapy and electrophysical modalities to reduce pain in carpal tunnel syndrome. Methodology: A systematic review of an article relating to the provision of exercise therapy and electrophysical modalities to reduce pain in carpal tunnel syndrome. Results: With exercise therapy and electrophysical modalities can provide a significant effect to reduce pain in carpal tunnel syndrome. Conclusion: Provision of exercise therapy and electrophysical modalities can reduce pain and increase daily physical activity in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Keywords:Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Exercise Therapy, Electrophysics, Physiotherapy
