This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether blood flow restriction training—a specialized exercise technique—can help relieve pain and improve grip strength in women with carpal tunnel syndrome. The technique works by partially limiting blood flow to your arm during light exercise, which is thought to trigger your body's natural pain-relief response and strengthen your muscles. Researchers will compare this new approach to standard physical therapy to see which works better.
Carpal tunnel syndrome causes pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand and wrist, and current treatments don't work equally well for everyone. This trial explores whether this specialized exercise approach might offer a better option by combining the benefits of exercise with the body's natural pain-relief mechanisms.

You will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: either the blood flow restriction exercise group or the standard physical therapy group. If you're in the exercise group, you'll perform light resistance exercises 3 times per week with a cuff on your arm that restricts blood flow, doing multiple sets of repetitions until you reach fatigue. If you're in the standard therapy group, you'll wear a supportive brace at night and do specific finger and wrist stretching exercises. The trial will measure your pain, grip strength, and nerve function before and after treatment to see which approach works better.
