Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness and safety of an oral combination of alpha lipoic acid (ALA) and vitamin B complex in treating mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does the combination of ALA and vitamin B improve nerve function (based on electrodiagnostic studies) in patients with CTS?
* Does this treatment reduce CTS-related symptoms and improve quality of life?
* What side effects, if any, do participants experience while taking the treatment?
Researchers will compare the combination of ALA and vitamin B to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no active drug) to evaluate its effectiveness.
Participants will:
* Take the ALA and vitamin B combination or a placebo once daily for 6 months.
* Attend clinic visits at the start of the study, after 3 months, and after 6 months for physical examinations, nerve conduction studies, and to complete questionnaires about their symptoms and quality of life.
* Receive follow-up phone calls and reminder messages to ensure medication compliance and attendance at scheduled visits.
