Brief Summary

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common and median nerve neuropathy at the wrist, caused by compression of the median nerve at the level of the carpal tunnel (CT) delimitated by the carpal bones and the transverse carpal ligament(TCL) which is the intermediate part of the flexor retinaculum (FR). The CTS remains a challenge for health care providers due to its high prevalence and economic consequences, it is projected that in every 5 patients, 1 complains of symptoms of pain, numbness and a tingling sensation in the hands, CTS is estimated to occur in 3.8% of the general population with an incidence rate of 276:100000 per year and happens more frequently in women than in men so a prevalence rate of 9.2% in women and 6% in men

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Weight and height scale

  Weighting scale will administreted by using (SH-8024) , it will be used to measure weight in kg and height in cm , of all patients before starting the assessment for determining BMI

  8 weeks

• Visual analogue scale

  The VAS consists of a 10-cm line, with the left extremity indicating ''no pain'' and the right extremity indicating ''unbearable pain.'' Participants asked to use the scale to indicate their current level of pain Higher values suggest more intense pain ,It was found that VAS provide valid and reliable assessments for the affective magnitude, as well as the sensation intensity of pain.

  8 weeks
