Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, causing pain, numbness, and weakness. This study uses ultrasound imaging and electrical nerve tests to measure how the median nerve looks and functions in people with this condition. The researchers want to understand whether some people's nerves are shaped or behave differently, which could help explain why symptoms vary from person to person.
Carpal tunnel syndrome affects many people, but doctors don't fully understand why some patients have worse symptoms than others. This research could reveal whether differences in nerve structure or stiffness explain these variations and lead to better ways to diagnose and treat the condition.

You will visit the physical therapy clinic at Etlik City Hospital for testing. During your visit, doctors will ask about your pain and symptoms using questionnaires, test your grip strength, and take ultrasound images of your wrist nerve. You will also have electrical nerve tests to measure how well your nerve is working. The entire study lasts about one year and involves standard diagnostic tests—no experimental medications or invasive procedures.
