Carpal tunnel syndrome Treatment in Prof. Dr. Murat Demirel
About the clinic
Carpal tunnel syndrome treatment at the private clinic of Prof. Dr. Murat Demirel in Ankara, Turkey focuses on relieving nerve pressure to restore hand function. Care is led by an orthopedic specialist with over 20 years of experience who offers both advanced surgical decompression and non-surgical therapies. This medical team builds personalized plans based on precise neurological testing at the Çankaya facility.
Diagnostic options for nerve compression
The clinic uses advanced imaging and neurological testing to grade median nerve compression before starting any therapy. These tests help confirm the diagnosis and rule out other nerve conditions. Patients may undergo several tests:
- Physical examination. The doctor checks hand strength, sensation, and specific reflex signs.
- Nerve conduction studies. This test measures how fast electrical signals travel through the median nerve.
- Electromyography (EMG). An electrical test that evaluates muscle health and detects nerve damage.
- MRI scan. The clinic uses this imaging for complex cases to view the internal wrist structures.
- Ultrasonography. This ultrasound test is used occasionally to view the nerve inside the carpal tunnel.
Non-surgical and conservative care
For early-stage or mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome, the clinic focuses on non-surgical methods. These conservative choices help control symptoms and can avoid the need for surgery. Options include:
- Night splint or wrist brace. This keeps the wrist straight during sleep to reduce pressure.
- Activity modification. The specialist helps change daily hand movements to rest the nerve.
- Anti-inflammatory medication. These drugs reduce swelling around the median nerve.
- Physical therapy. Targeted exercises improve hand mobility and strength.
- Corticosteroid injection. This targeted injection delivers medicine directly into the wrist to relieve severe swelling.
Surgical carpal tunnel release
When muscle weakness, hand numbness, or severe nerve compression persists, surgical treatment becomes necessary. The clinic provides carpal tunnel release, which is a surgical decompression of the median nerve at the wrist. Prof. Dr. Murat Demirel performs this procedure to open the tissue pressing on the nerve. Patients report high satisfaction with this surgery because it removes nighttime pain and numbness. Most people resume daily activities within a few weeks, while full nerve healing takes several months.

Prof. Dr. Murat Demirel: more details about the clinic
Expertise and Specialist Background
The clinic is led by Prof. Dr. Murat Demirel. He has over 20 years of experience in orthopedic surgery. He earned his medical degree from Ankara University in 1998 and received his specialist title in 2004. Since then, he has maintained academic involvement through Ph.D. studies at the Ankara University Institute of Health Sciences.
Primary Orthopedic Specialties
The clinic provides diagnostic and treatment pathways for conditions affecting the knee, hip, shoulder, and foot. Specialists use 3D joint modeling to select the most suitable prostheses for patients. This planning supports improved joint alignment and prosthesis longevity after surgery.
For joint preservation, the clinic offers several regenerative therapies:
- Stem cell therapy
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) applications
- BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate)
- Exosome therapy
- Hydrogel injections
For hip conditions, the clinic treats advanced osteoarthritis, congenital dislocations, and complex fractures. Hip arthroscopy is a frequently performed procedure for internal joint issues. This minimally invasive method uses small incisions and special surgical instruments. The clinic reports 85–95% patient satisfaction rates for appropriately selected hip arthroscopy cases.
Shoulder care includes treatment for muscle tears, recurrent dislocations, and instability. Surgeons perform shoulder arthroscopy to repair muscle tears through a camera-assisted "closed" technique. After surgery, patients follow a staged rehabilitation program. The first phase usually lasts 4–6 weeks. During this time, a special sling protects the joint while the patient performs specific exercises.
Foot and ankle services focus on fractures and Morton's neuroma (nerve thickening in the foot). The clinic follows a strict stepwise strategy for nerve pain – less invasive measures are always tried first. Surgery is considered a last resort. It is generally recommended only if pain persists for 3–6 months despite shoe modifications and injection therapy.
Advanced Surgical Technology
A primary differentiator for the clinic is the use of robotic knee replacement surgery. Surgeons use computer-assisted systems to place implants with millimetric precision. This technology allows for highly accurate surgical planning before the procedure begins.
The clinic uses a suite of diagnostic tools for accurate treatment planning:
- Digital X-ray and densitometry
- High-resolution MRI
- Computerized Tomography (CT)
- Ultrasonography for soft tissue evaluation
- Digital foot analysis
These tools help identify the precise stage of osteoarthritis or the extent of ligament and meniscus tears. The clinic also performs neurological examinations to assess nerve compressions in the spine or limbs.
International Patient Services
The clinic provides medical information in English to assist international visitors. Patients from abroad receive support with orthopedic consultations and personalized treatment planning. The clinic is located in the Maidan business center in Ankara, so patients have access to local amenities. Prof. Dr. Murat Demirel coordinates follow-up care and long-term rehabilitation programs to monitor recovery after patients return home.
