What this Trial Is About
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of Pain Neuroscience Education applied in the treatment of mild and moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The main question it aims to answer is: Does PNE have a therapeutic effect on carpal tunnel syndrome in clinical and ultrasonographic terms? Researchers will compare whether PNE creates a synergistic effect alongside home based exercise programs and splint application in mild to moderate CTS, and will objectively demonstrate potential benefits such as relief from pain and numbness.
