Summary

This study tests whether warm paraffin wax baths or mud therapy (peloidotherapy) can reduce pain and improve hand function in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Ninety adults will be split into three groups: one gets mud plus home exercises, another gets wax plus exercises, and the third gets only exercises. Researchers will check results after three weeks and again at three months.
