Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of paraffin therapy, a physical therapy modality, and ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, the most common entrapment neuropathy. By doing so, the study will evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of these two alternative, low-side-effect treatments for managing this frequently encountered condition.
