Laser acupuncture: Laser acupuncture is a modern, non-invasive approach to acupuncture that uses low-level laser therapy (LLLT) instead of traditional needles to stimulate acupuncture points. This technique combines the principles of traditional Chinese medicine with modern technology to provide pain relief and promote healing (Chon et al., 2019). * Device: UNIPHY PHYACTION 740, made in EEC device. * Laser type: Gallium aluminum arsenide laser. * Wavelength: 808 nm. * Power Output: 200 mW. * Dose/energy density: 4J/point. * Frequency of treatment: Three times weekly for 8 weeks. * Duration: 12 min. * Cumulative dose: 48J/point. * Target Acupuncture Points: Key points for CTS: PC4 (Ximen), PC6 (Neiguan), PC7 (Daling), PC8 (Laogong), LI4 (Hegu), LI10 (Shousanli), LI11 (Quchi), HT-2 (Qingling), HT7 (Shenmen), HT-8 (Shaofu), LU9 (Taiyuan) and LU10 (Yuji)
Traditional Therapy: * Splinting/Bracing: Patients in the two groups will advised to wear a static wrist splint locked at 0\_ wrist flexion for at least 8 h at night throughout the entire length of the study as the primary management which reduce pressure on the median nerve. * Physical Therapy: Engaging in specific exercises, such as nerve glide exercises and wrist stretches, can improve mobility and reduce symptoms. These exercises aim to restore normal movement of the median nerve and alleviate compression
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of laser acupuncture in alleviating CTS symptoms following flexor tendon repair in the hand.
