简要总结
When the other usage areas of the manual lymphatic drainage technique in the literature, except for the treatment of lymphedema, were examined recently, it was seen that it was also applied in orthopedic and neurological cases in a limited number of studies. The aim of our study is to investigate the effectiveness of manual lymphatic drainage on clinical and electrophysiological findings in carpal tunnel syndrome

结局指标
主要结局
Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ)
时间窗: 10 minutes
BCTQ, a self-report measure of CTS, evaluates two domains: 1. The symptom severity scale (BCTQSS) has 11 items that assess pain, paresthesia, and weakness. 2. The functional status scale (BCTQ-FS) evaluates the ability to perform manual activities with 8 items. Each item evaluates the increasing severity of symptoms or difficulty with a high score.
pressure pain threshold
时间窗: 15 minutes
Each evaluation will be repeated 3 times with 10 seconds between measurements, and the data will be recorded by taking the average of the last two measurements (15). The patients will be evaluated by measuring the transverse carpal ligament, radioulnar joint and extensor digitorum muscle with an algometer before and at the end of the treatment. measurements will be recorded in kg/cm2
Electrodiagnostic evaluation
时间窗: 15 minutes
Median motor nerve latency, median motor nerve conduction velocity, compound muscle action potential amplitude will be measured at both levels. Median sensory nerve conduction studies will be performed by antidromic recording with a superficial electrode from the 3rd finger and a stimulus will be given from the wrist 14 cm proximal. Median sensory nerve latency, median sensory nerve conduction velocity and sensory nerve action potential will be calculated for both applications. nerve potentials will be calculated in m/sec
