Both manual acupuncture and laser acupuncture treatments for CTS have been reported. Laser acupuncture (LA) is defined as the stimulation of traditional acupuncture points by using low-level intensity. Its a noninvasive treatment than acupuncture for those patients had the potential risk for infection or people involving pain or fear of needles. So far, previous studies still lack associated evidence about comparisons between laser acupuncture and manual acupuncture to evaluate their efficacy. So the investigators would like to compare the efficacy of acupuncture treatment with laser acupuncture (LA) treatment in patients with idiopathic, mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS)
