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 pain, numbness, and tingling in your hand and fingers. This trial tests three different physical therapy approaches — nerve stretching techniques, tendon gliding exercises (movements that help tendons slide smoothly), and a combination of both — to see which works best for reducing your pain and improving hand function.
Many people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome want to try non-surgical treatment first, but doctors aren't sure which exercise approach works best. This study will help physical therapists recommend the most effective treatment plan for patients like you.

You will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: one group will learn and practice nerve stretching techniques, another will do tendon gliding exercises, and a third will do both. You will attend sessions where a physical therapist will teach you these exercises and monitor your progress. The trial will track how much your pain improves and how your hand function gets better over time.
