Sleep Quality in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Splinting and Kinesiotaping

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

• Registration Number: NCT06514625
• Lead Sponsor: Konya Beyhekim Training and Research Hospital

Brief Summary

The effect of conservative treatments on sleep quality in carpal tunnel syndrome is unclear.

Comparing the effect of splinting and kinesiotaping in carpal tunnel syndrome on functional status, pain, grip strength, nerve cross-sectional area and sleep quality.

Participants were divided into 3 groups. One group received night splint and nerve tendon gliding exercises, one group received kinesiotaping and nerve tendon gliding exercises, and one group received only nerve tendon gliding exercises. Participants were evaluated by a blinded investigator at baseline and at 3 months by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Jamar hand dynamometer and ultrasonography.
