Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of blood flow restriction BFR on pain perception grip strength and nerve conductivity in patients suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome CTS The main question it aims to answer is

Does performing blood flow restriction training decrease pain improve grip strength and does not alter nerve conduction velocity in patients with CTS The participants will be divided into two groups to be compared Patients in the control group will receive the conventional physical therapy program only In contrast participants in the experimental group will receive blood flow restriction BFR training in addition to a conventional physical therapy program which includes an orthotic device tendon and nerve-gliding exercises
Detailed Description: Blood flow restriction BFR entails a training technique that partially limits arterial blood flow and completely restricts venous blood outflow within the active musculature during physical activity Patterson SD Hughes L Warmington S et al This method is thought to have begun in the 1970s through Dr Yoshiaki Sotos Kaatsu resistance training By restricting the outflow of blood from the limb the resulting lack of oxygen creates conditions that stimulate muscle growth through cellular signaling and hormonal changes resembling the effects of higher-intensity training with increased resistance Wortman RJ Brown SM Savage-Elliott I Finley ZJ Mulcahey MK Emerging studies indicate that Exercise-induced hypoalgesia EIH delineates a transient decrease in pain sensitivity subsequent to physical activity Hughes L Patterson S D 2020 Moreover research indicates that individuals diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome CTS typically exhibit reduced grip strength Sasaki T Makino K Nimura A et al Furthermore acute application of submaximal blood flow restriction BFR for approximately 5 minutes does not influence the magnitude or timing of H wave responses Mendonca GV et al

Thus the investigators hypothesized that performing blood flow restriction training will decrease pain improve grip strength and does not alter the nerve conduction velocity in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome CTS
