Effectiveness of Kinesiotaping and Peloidotherapy in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Sponsor: Konya Beyhekim Training and Research Hospital
Summary
Patients diagnosed with mild and moderate idiopathic CTS will be randomly divided into three groups. Patients who received 15 sessions of peloid therapy along with a home exercise program will constitute the first group. The second group will consist of patients who received a total of 6 sessions of kinesiotaping twice a week along with a home exercise program. Patients who were given only a home exercise program will be included in the third group. "Patients will be evaluated in detail in terms of clinical examination and outcomes three weeks after the end of treatment and again at three months.

Interventions
Kinesiotaping
Kinesiotaping, unlike wrist splints, which are frequently used in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, does not restrict daily living activities. Space correction technique will be applied while performing kinesio taping.
Peloidotherapy
Peloidotherapy stands out among superficial heating physical therapy modalities with its mineral and natural origin.
Home exercise
Flexor tendon gliding exercises, median nerve gliding exercises, and isometric wrist strengthening exercises will be given as exercises.
