Purpose: To compare the effect of pulsed magnetic field (PEMF) versus ultrasound (US) in treating patients with CTS. Forty postnatal female patients with idiopathic CTS were assigned randomly into two equal groups. One group received PEMF with nerve and tendon gliding exercises for the wrist 3 times for week for 4 weeks. The other group received US plus the same exercises. Pain level, sensory and motor distal latencies of the median nerve (MSDL and MMDL), sensory and motor conduction velocities of the median nerve (MSCV and MMCV), functional status scale and hand grip strength were assessed pre and post treatment
