Conditions
Summary
The study plans to include a total of 60 patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. Patients will be divided into two groups according to the treatment they receive. One group will receive only paraffin treatment, while the other group will receive only ESWT treatment. ESWT will be applied for a total of 5 sessions. Paraffin will be applied for a total of 10 sessions. As assessment tools; * Measurement of median nerve thickness with ultrasound * Electromyography * Visual Analog Scale * Short Form-36 Evaluations will be made twice by a specialist physician before and after the treatments.
