Summary

This study looked at whether adding low-level laser therapy or nerve stretching exercises after carpal tunnel release surgery helps nerve recovery. 45 adults who had surgery were split into three groups: one got laser, one got nerve stretches, and one got standard care. After 6 weeks, nerve tests were compared to see if the extra treatments improved nerve signals.
