A qualitative systematic review was conducted to determine the effectiveness
of hand therapy interventions for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) based
on the best available evidence. Twenty-four studies were used to formulate 30 recommendations. Current
evidence demonstrates a significant benefit from splinting, ultrasound,
nerve gliding exercises, carpal bone mobilization, magnetic therapy,
and yoga for people with carpal tunnel syndrome. Muller M, Tsui D, Schnurr
