简要总结
In the randomized controlled study with patients who appropriate the inclusion criteria are divided into two groups by simple drawing method. In the control group, the classical physiotherapy program is being applied when the post-operative immobilization period ended, MT is applied to the mirror group in addition to this treatment for 20 minutes and a total of 10 sessions in the immobilization period. Patients who are scheduled for operation due to CTS evaluated that pain (VAS), sense (monofilament test), function (BCTQ, 9-hole peg test) before surgery, 3 weeks and 6 weeks after surgery.

The SPSS 21.0 statistical program will be used in the data analysis of the study and the level of significance wiil be accepted as p<0,05.

结局指标
主要结局
Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (the change of severity and functional status)
时间窗: before surgery, 3 weeks and 6 weeks after surgery (3 repetitive measurements)
It is a self-administered questionnaire that assesses the severity and functional status of typical 24-hour symptoms of patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) during the last two weeks. The Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) consists of 11 questions evaluating the severity, frequency, duration and types of symptoms. The answers that can be given to each question are scored between 1 and 5. The SSS score is calculated by dividing the total score by the number of questions answered. A high score means that the symptoms are more severe. The Functional Status Scale (FSS) consists of 8 questions that assess how much the CTS affects daily life. The degree of difficulty in doing activities is scored between 1 and 5. The FSS score is calculated by dividing the total score by the number of questions answered. Higher score means less functional capacity. In this study, the outcome measure is assessing the change of functional activity and symptoms from pre-operative at 3 and 6 weeks.

- Semmes Weinstein Monofilaman Test(before surgery, 3 weeks and 6 weeks after surgery)
- Visual Analog Scale(before surgery, 3 weeks and 6 weeks after surgery)
