THE IMPACT OF KINESIO TAPE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME: A THERAPEUTIC APPROACH

Аннотация

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a prevalent upper extremity condition characterized by median nerve compression within the carpal tunnel. This study explores the efficacy of Kinesio Tape as a therapeutic intervention for CTS. A randomized controlled trial was conducted on [number] participants diagnosed with CTS. Participants were divided into experimental and control groups, with the experimental group receiving Kinesio Tape application over the carpal tunnel area. Outcome measures included pain intensity, hand function, and electrophysiological parameters. Results indicated significant improvements in pain reduction and hand function in the experimental group compared to the control group. Electrophysiological findings suggested a potential positive effect on nerve conduction. Kinesio Tape shows promise as an adjunctive therapy for managing CTS symptoms, providing a non-invasive and potentially effective approach.
