The patient was asked to wear the fabricated splint that fixes the wrist in the neutral position every night and during the day as much as possible

Kinesiotaping was applied twice a week for a total of 8 sessions for 4 weeks. Taping was performed with a "neural technique" for the median and "field correction technique" for releasing the carpal tunnel. The elbow was positioned in full extension, the forearm in supination, and the wrist in 30 extension. I tape was used for neural technique. Tape was applied to the skin along the median nerve from the second and third metacarpophalangeal joints to five centimetres distal to the medial epicondyle. For the area correction technique, the I tape, which is half of the wrist circumference, was heavily stretched to the volar side of the wrist and the middle 1/3 part was taped without stretching the edges.

Nerve tendon gliding exercises were taught practically by an experienced physiotherapist. Participants were asked to do three sets of 10 repetitions every day for one month. Tendon gliding exercises were performed by bringing the hand into five different positions: regular grip, hook grip, punch, tabletop, and regular punch. Nerve gliding exercises were performed by bringing the fingers and wrist into six different positions: fingers and thumb in flexion with the wrist in neutral position, fingers and thumb in extension with the wrist in neutral position, thumb in neutral position with the wrist and fingers in extension, wrist, fingers, and thumb in extension, forearm in supination, and gentle stretching of the thumb with the other hand. Patients were given a thirty day exercise diary.
