Summary

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a chronic compression of the median nerve, which can lead to
 symptoms such as nocturnal pain and paresthesia in the area innervated by the median nerve.
 The affected patients also describe discomfort and hypoesthesia in the nerve supply area. Due
 to the COVID (Coronavirus disease) pandemic, CTS operations have been postponed and delayed.
 A promising and safe alternative for improving CTS-related symptoms appears to be
 non-invasive, non-thermal low-level-laser therapy. As a possible conservative, alternative
 method, low-level-laser therapy has the potential to enable patients with CTS to improve
 their disease-related symptoms or at least to alleviate the symptoms until the indicated CTS
 operation (carpal tunnel release).
 
 The aim of this randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial is to investigate
 the influence of 3 weeks of low-level-laser therapy on the symptoms typical of CTS in
 patients with surgery-indicated carpal tunnel syndrome and its influence on quality of life.
