It is particularly common in middle-aged women. In the early stages, these patients frequently experience pain and numbness in the hand, especially in the first three fingers, and paresthesias, which often worsen at night. As the disease progresses, muscle weakness and atrophy of the thenar muscles can occur, severely impacting patients' daily activities and functionality. Clinical evaluation and patient complaints are crucial for diagnosis. Electrophysiological assessment tools such as nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG) are highly sensitive and considered the gold standard for confirming the diagnosis, assessing nerve damage, and determining the severity of this damage. In addition to electrophysiological assessment, ultrasonographic evaluation offers an important opportunity to observe structural changes in the median nerve associated with CTS.\n\nIn cases of mild to moderate CTS, nonsurgical treatments are the primary options for reducing symptoms; splinting, tendon-nerve gliding exercises, and physical therapy modalities are commonly preferred. Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) is a non-invasive method that can be applied to various tissues, such as spinal nerves, peripheral nerves, or muscles, and is used to reduce pain and improve motor function. While its potential benefits for many neurological diseases and musculoskeletal problems have been demonstrated in recent years, there are limited studies on the effectiveness of rPMS in patients with CTS. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of rPMS on pain in individuals diagnosed with mild to moderate CTS. Secondarily, the effects of rPMS on symptom severity, functional status, nerve conduction parameters, and median nerve ultrasonographic findings will be analyzed. The findings of our study suggest that objective evaluation of rPMS treatment will contribute to supporting the clinical practice of this treatment option in patients with CTS with more comprehensive data.",[75],"Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)",[77,78,79,80,81],"Carpal Tunnel Syndrome","Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation","electrodiagnosis","ultrasound","functional status","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-12-25",{"date":85,"type":86},"2026-01-08","ACTUAL",{"date":88,"type":69},"2026-01-01",{"date":90,"type":69},"2027-01-15",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
