Conventional physiotherapy was applied to both of groups five days a week for four weeks. Additionally, the MCT group was treated with MCT for ten minutes, two days a week for four weeks. Pain (Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), range of motion (ROM), functionality (DASH-Constant) and quality of life (SF 36) were evaluated before and after treatment. Within-group comparisons were performed by Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test. Comparisons between-group were provided by Mann Whitney U test.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      After treatment there were significant differences in pain, ROM, DASH, Constant scores in both groups (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.05).
