There is evidence supporting that physical therapy interventions can be effective for the management of patients with CTS. No consensus on the best approach exist. It seems clear that the median nerve is affected in several ways (compression, inflammation, excursion) in carpal tunnel syndrome. Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is a treatment approach consisting of the application of an electrical current throughout needling filaments placed close to the nerve, in this case the median nerve. The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare changes in function, symptom severity and the intensity of pain after the application of Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation vs. endoscopic surgery in women with CTS at short- and long-term follow-up periods.
