This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, causing pain, numbness, and weakness in your hand. This trial compares three ways to treat it without surgery: one group will try kinesiotaping (a special elastic tape applied to the wrist), another will try peloidotherapy (warm mud therapy), and a third will do exercises at home. All groups will also do hand exercises to help strengthen and stretch the nerve.
Many people with carpal tunnel syndrome want to avoid surgery. This trial exists to find out whether these two non-surgical treatments—tape and mud therapy—actually work better than just doing exercises alone.

You will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. If you get tape, you'll receive 6 taping sessions over 2 weeks plus home exercises. If you get mud therapy, you'll attend 15 sessions (20 minutes each, 5 days a week for 3 weeks) plus home exercises. If you're in the exercise-only group, you'll learn stretching and strengthening exercises to do at home. Throughout the study, researchers will test your hand strength, pain levels, and nerve function to see which treatment works best.
