The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of fESWT in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome compared to participants receiving only night splint. Therefore 40 patients with mild to moderate CTS (verified by nerve conduction velocity) will be randomized to receive either fESWT (1-session a week for 3 weeks) or sham fESWT(1-session a week for 3 weeks). All subjects will be asked to wear night splints. Evaluation will be performed at baseline (VAS, hand grip, electrodiagnostic parameters, questionnaires), 3 weeks (VAS, hand grip, questionnaires), 12 and 24 weeks (VAS, hand grip, electrodiagnostic parameters, questionnaires) after treatment.
