This randomized, clinical, single-blinded, controlled study will initially planned to include 86 patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome who applied to Kütahya Health Sciences University, Evliya Çelebi Training and Research Hospital, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic and Kutahya City Hospital.Patients aged 20-55 years who were diagnosed with mild and moderate carpal tunnel syndrome by electromyography (EMG) in the last 6 months were included in the study. The patients were randomized into two groups using the computer-assisted randomization method. Median nerve mobilization and ultrasound therapy will be given to the study group, and only ultrasound therapy will be given to the control group. All the patients were evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Hand and Pinching Grip Test, Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) and Median Nerve and Abductor Pollicis Brevis Muscle ultrasonography before the intervention and at the third week of intervention.
