Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Function	Initially, 4 and 12 weeks.	Boston´s carpal tunnel questionnaire results, where each item is scored from 1 (no symptoms/difficulties) to 5 (the worst symptoms/cannot perform the activity at all). The mean score for each scale is calculated, resulting in a score between 1 and 5, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms or function.
Pain	Initially, 4 and 12 weeks.	Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a pain intensity measurement tool that uses a 10 cm line with two end points to indicate no pain and worst possible pain.
