简要总结
Background/Objectives: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), a median mononeuropathy from nerve compression in the wrist's carpal tunnel, will be studied to compare self-myofascial carpal ligament stretching plus conventional physical therapy versus physical therapy alone for pain reduction and function improvement in stage I/II CTS patients.
Methods: Thirty-six eligible stage I/II CTS patients will be randomized (18/group). The experimental group will receive self-myofascial stretching + conventional therapy; controls will get conventional therapy only. Treatment will last 6 weeks; outcomes will be assessed via Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire and Visual Analogue Scale.
