In brief

This study compares the effectiveness of peloid therapy and paraffin treatment in carpal tunnel syndrome. Patients who have already received 2 weeks of peloid therapy or 15 sessions of paraffin treatment will be assessed. Pain and symptom severity are assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTQ). Electrophysiological examinations will also be conducted at the same time points: baseline, 4 weeks post-treatment, and a 12-week follow-up.
