This trial is testing two different ways to treat carpal tunnel syndrome: paraffin therapy (a warm wax treatment) and ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection (a steroid shot guided by imaging). Researchers want to see which treatment works better at relieving pain and improving hand function in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome.
Carpal tunnel syndrome can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand, and many people need treatment beyond rest and splints. This trial exists to figure out which of these two treatments is more effective, so doctors can offer patients the best option for their condition.

You will be randomly assigned to receive either paraffin therapy (warm wax treatment) or an ultrasound-guided steroid injection. After treatment, you'll visit the clinic for follow-up appointments at 4 weeks and 12 weeks, where researchers will measure your pain level using a simple pain scale, assess how well your hand is functioning, and perform nerve testing to see how your condition has changed. The entire study lasts about 3 months from start to finish.
