简要总结
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) which is defined as a symptomatic compression neuropathy of the median nerve at the level of the wrist.
Different types of splints are used for improving the function and decreasing the pain intensity and symptoms in the rehabilitation of patients with CTS.
However effectiveness of treatment by taping has never been investigated in physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
The aim of this study was to compare the short-term effect of conventional physiotherapy only, and also kinesio taping and night splinting in patients with CTS.
详细描述
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) which is defined as a symptomatic compression neuropathy of the median nerve at the level of the wrist.It is considered as the most common disabling neuromuscular condition of the upper extremities.
Night splints are used in conjunction with the conservative intervention to improve the function and decrease the pain intensity and paresthesia in the rehabilitation of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. However effectiveness of treatment by kinesiotaping has never been investigated.
The aim of this study was to compare the short-term effect of conventional physiotherapy only, and also kinesio taping and night splinting in addition to conventional physiotherapy in the rehabilitation of patients with CTS.

结局指标
主要结局
functional impairment
时间窗: functional impairment will be recorded at baseline and 4-week follow-up
functional impairment will be assessed by using Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire. The score consisted of two sub-scales; The Symptom Severity Scale including 11 questions and The Functional Capacity Scale including 8 questions. Each scale score is calculated by the average values of the questions. The scores vary between "1-point" to "5-point". High score indicates severe symptoms and impaired functional capacity.
次要结局
- paresthesia(change from baseline to 4-week follow-up will be recorded)
- pain intensity(change from baseline to 4-week follow-up will be recorded)
