About this trial
This study will include 20 patients aged 18-75 years who have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) based on electrophysiological examinations performed within the last three months, as well as 20 healthy volunteers without a CTS diagnosis. Sociodemographic data such as age, gender, height, weight, and BMI will be recorded. Pinch grip strength will be evaluated using a Jamar pinch meter, and hand grip strength will be assessed using a Jamar dynamometer. Ultrasound will be used to measure the cross-sectional area and thickness of the thenar muscles as well as the cross-sectional area of the median nerve. Additionally, previous electrophysiological examination results will be recorded for the CTS patients.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Thenar Muscle Cross-Sectional Area (Ultrasound)
Measurement of the cross-sectional area of the thenar muscles using ultrasound to determine muscle atrophy or changes associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.
Time frame
0 daySecondary outcomes
1
Thenar Muscle Thickness (Ultrasound)
Assessment of the thickness of the thenar muscles using ultrasound to evaluate structural changes in patients with CTS.
Time frame
0 day2
Median Nerve Cross-Sectional Area (Ultrasound)
Measurement of the median nerve's cross-sectional area using ultrasound, a parameter commonly associated with CTS diagnosis and severity.
Time frame
0 day3
Pinch Grip Strength
Evaluated using the Jamar pinch meter, this outcome measures the functional strength of the thumb and index finger, which may be impaired in CTS.
Time frame
0 day4
Hand Grip Strength
Assessed with a Jamar dynamometer, this outcome measures overall hand strength and provides insights into functional limitations caused by CTS.
