This study was conducted to investigate the effect of kinesio tape versus low level laser in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome during pregnancy, 30 pregnant females complained from carpal tunnel syndrome in their third trimester participated in this study, their ages were ranged from 20 to 35 years, they were randomly assigned into 2 groups equal in number where (group A) were treated by kinesio taping for 3 days then 1 day off and then another 3 days each week for 4 weeks, and (group B) were treated by Low level laser therapy, in the form of 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks. Statistical analysis of motor Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) in both groups (A) and (B) revealed that there was a statistical significant improvement the mean value of nerve conduction velocity of group A (55.62 ± 1.28) and group B (57.04 ± 1.18 ) with the t-value was 3.16 and p-value was 0.004 in favor of group B and % of improvement was 2.55 %. While in sensory Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) in both groups (A) and (B) there was a statistical significant improvement in the mean value of nerve conduction velocity of group (A) (58.8 ± 2.68) and group (B) (60.98 ± 1.65) with t-value 2.68 and p-value 0.013 in favor of group B and % of improvement was 3.7 %. Also, In Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) comparing the two groups after one month of treatment the median values were 5 and 4 respectively which indicated a significant improvement and decrease of pain (p= 0.003) in favor of group B and % of improvement was 20 %
