IRCT20220305054198N1 IRCT 2022-04-03 Esfahan University of Medical Sciences Comparison oftecar therapy versus phonophoresis on improvement of symptoms of patients with mild and moderate carpal tunnel syndrome Comparative effect of tecar therapy versus phonophoresis on improvement of symptoms, function and electrodiagnostic and sonographic findings in patients with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome 2022-04-04 anticipated 50 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/62542 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: In this study, 50 eligible patients are randomly selected. For this, the letter A is written on 25 sheets and the letter B is written on 25 sheets and each of them is placed in an envelope. Each patient is then asked to choose one of the envelopes. Depending on the selected envelope, the patient is assigned to one of two groups, Blinding description: Given the type of intervention used in each of the two groups, the researcher is aware of the type of intervention in each group. But the patient, the investigator and the data analyser will not be aware of the type of intervention. N/A Carpal tunnel syndrome. Intervention 1: Intervention group 1: Patients in this group will receive standard treatments. In addition, patients will receive Tecar therapy(TECAR WINBACK made in France). In this way, the patient is sitting. The dorsal surface of the patient's hand will be placed on the insulating pad of the implant and the active pad on the patient's wrist will be placed on the volar surface. After rubbing the conductive cream on the volar surface of the wrist, using the capacitive model (CET) (frequency 500 kHz), in the path of the median nerve from the wrist to the palm for 15 minutes with an intensity of at least 20 and maximum 40, is moved. Eight sessions will be performed twice a week for patients. Intervention 2: Intervention group 2: Patients in this group will receive standard treatments. In addition, patients will be treated with phonophoresis. Following the use of the gel, the ultrasound probe will be placed perpendicular to the wrist. In each session, 15 minutes of pulse phonophoresis (1 to 4) with a frequency of 3 MHz and an intensity of one w/cm2 will be performed with hydrocortisone. Eight sessions of phonophoresis treatment will be performed twice a week. No - There is not a plan to make this available Justification or reason for not sharing IPD is There is no further information
