This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Carpal tunnel syndrome causes numbness, tingling, and weakness in your hand when a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed. This trial is testing whether a resting wrist splint combined with hand exercises works better than high-intensity laser therapy combined with the same exercises to reduce your pain and improve your grip strength and nerve function.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is very common and uncomfortable, but doctors need to know which non-surgical treatments work best. This trial will help determine whether a simple splint or a newer laser therapy is more effective at relieving your symptoms.

You will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. All groups will do the same hand and wrist exercises (stretching, strengthening, nerve gliding movements) for 6 weeks, 5 days a week—that's 30 sessions total. One group will also wear a resting splint during the day and night; another group will receive high-intensity laser therapy sessions over the carpal tunnel area; and the third group will receive a sham (inactive) laser as a comparison. Researchers will measure your pain, hand strength, and nerve function at the beginning and end of the study.
