Sponsor's own description

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) occurs as a result of compression of the median nerve under the transverse ligament along the carpal tunnel. The main cause of median nerve compression and carpal tunnel syndrome is increased volume in the carpal tunnel. The pressure that edema puts on the nerve must be controlled in the early period. Edema that persists beyond the inflammatory process can contribute to the fibrotic stage, delay healing, and even cause complications such as pain and stiffness. Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a specialized technique that involves gentle massage techniques and follows lymphatic pathways from proximal to distal and then from distal to proximal. On the basis of this concept; Increasing circulation by stimulating the lymph system, removing biochemical residues, reducing edema and pain, and regulating sympathetic and parasympathetic system responses. It is known that MLD rapidly regulates lymphatic circulation by creating a change in interstitial fluid pressure, thus preventing even arthrofibrotic tissue that may form after a traumatic situation, reducing edema that predisposes to pain, and increasing mobility. Nerve gliding exercises are another method used in treatment. By providing a sliding movement of the tendons and median nerve in the distal-proximal direction, mobilization of the surrounding soft tissues is achieved and dynamic ischemia is terminated. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of manual lymphatic drainage and nerve mobilization on clinical and ultrasonographic findings in carpal tunnel syndrome.
