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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Kinesio taping (two techniques: I tape and button hole) plus exercise
What this could lead to
If effective, kinesio taping could offer a non-invasive, drug-free way to reduce pain and improve hand function in people with carpal tunnel syndrome.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, and results may not apply to all patients. Taping effects may be temporary, and individual responses can vary.
