This randomized, parallel-group controlled clinical trial evaluated the effects of adding cervicothoracic exercises to conventional physiotherapy on symptoms, functional status, pain, grip strength, and wrist range of motion in individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Seventy adults diagnosed with CTS were randomly allocated to two groups: conventional physiotherapy (n=35) or cervicothoracic exercises combined with conventional physiotherapy (n=35). The conventional physiotherapy program included transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), therapeutic ultrasound, median nerve mobilization, wrist range-of-motion exercises, and strengthening exercises. The intervention group received the same conventional physiotherapy program together with cervicothoracic exercises targeting cervical mobility, cervical muscle control, scapular stabilization, and thoracic mobility. Both groups received treatment five days per week for six weeks. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, at the end of the six-week intervention, and approximately three months after each participant completed…
