<![CDATA[Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that affects the hand and wrist, primarily due to compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel. Symptoms of CTS typically include pain, muscle weakness, and restricted range of motion in the wrist and hand, significantly impacting daily functional activities. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in managing these symptoms and improving the patient's quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combined physiotherapy interventions—Ultrasound (US), Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), and exercise therapy—in patients with CTS. Over the course of four therapy sessions, significant improvements were observed. Resting pain decreased from T1:3 to T4:1, tenderness from T1:5 to T4:3, and movement pain from T1:7 to T4:5. Additionally, muscle strength improved from T1:4 to T4:5, and the joint range of motion increased from T1:30° to T4:45°. These findings suggest that a combination of US, TENS, and exercise therapy is an effective approach for reducing pain, enhancing muscle strength, improving joint mobility, and restoring functional hand abilities in individuals with CTS.]]>
