Summary

This trial tests whether two different kinesio taping techniques, combined with exercise, can reduce pain and improve hand function in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Participants will receive one of the taping methods or serve as a control, with measurements of pain, grip strength, and nerve function taken before and after treatment. The goal is to see if taping offers a non-invasive option for managing this common wrist condition.
