Can a simple tape ease carpal tunnel pain?

This trial tests whether adding kinesio taping to a standard exercise program helps people with carpal tunnel syndrome more than exercise alone. Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, causing pain, numbness, and weakness. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either taping plus nerve and tendon gliding exercises, or the exercises alone, for four weeks. Researchers will measure changes in nerve size, pain, and hand function to see if the tape provides extra benefit.
