Controlled active motion protocol was applied to all patients. In addition, LLLT was applied to one group and sham laser to another group for 10 sessions. Patients were evaluated at baseline and four and eight weeks after intervention. Visual Analog Scale for pain, Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire for upper extremity symptoms and functions, and nine-hole peg test for hand dexterity were used. The range of motion of the hand and metacarpophalangeal joint circumference were measured.
