Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Age of participants 20-40 years Individuals who have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, regardless of gender Based on electromyography-nerve conduction velocity (EMG-NCV) investigation, the diagnosis of mild carpal tunnel syndrome was confirmed. This involves the involvement of both sensory and motor fibers to the extent that none are absent, with a sensory and motor delay of more than 3.6 msec and 4.1 msec, respectively.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: According to an EMG-NCV investigation, there are patients with mild (sensory nerve latency >3.5 ms at third digit) and severe (missing sensory or motor waves) CTS. Patients with a history of continuous physical therapy or exercise during the previous two weeks, or taking analgesic or anti-inflammatory drugs during the week before the baseline assessment. Hypothyroidism Cancer Active infection Pulmonary disease Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome Associated Myopathy Myelopathy History of neck and/or shoulder surgery, drug abuse, corticosteroid consumption, and high-risk pregnancy
