Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine: 1. The effect of neurodynamic mobilization on the sensory and motor median nerve conduction velocity in carpal tunnel syndrome. 2. The effect of neurodynamic mobilization on the wrist pain in carpal tunnel syndrome. 3. The effect of neurodynamic mobilization on the hand function in carpal tunnel syndrome.


Description:

The findings of this study will provide physiotherapists with information to know if neurodynamic mobilization techniques is effective on median nerve conduction velocity in carpal tunnel syndrome also this will improve our body of knowledge about the best modalities for treating carpal tunnel syndrome. The finding of this study may help carpal tunnel syndrome patients to avoid the exposing to complications as a result of compression of median nerve in carpal tunnel syndrome.

Study Design


Intervention

Other:
conventional Treatment
It consists of Superficial heat, Ultrasound therapy and stretching exercise to lumbrical muscles of the hand.
Neurodynamic mobilization
It is the mobilisation of the nervous system as an approach to physical treatment of pain. The treatment and or assessment relies on influencing pain physiology via the mechanical treatment of neural tissues and non-neural structures surrounding the nervous system.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Assessing the change in nerve conduction velocity of the median nerve. By using Electromyography apparatus measuring nerve conduction velocity of the median nerve. (motor and sensory in m/s) at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention
Primary Assessing the change in wrist joint pain By using Pressure pain threshold (PPT) is defined as the minimal amount of pressure that produces pain. A simple handheld pressure algometer (PA) with a spring is commonly used, although more sophisticated electrical devices with a strain or pneumatic pressure gauge have been developed. They hold the peak force or pressure (kp (kilopond) = 10 N, Newton = 100 kPa (kilopascal)) until tared, and some may also be connected to a computer and thus have continuous output. PPT measured with a probe 1.6 mm in diameter or larger reflects the tenderness of deep tissues as anesthesia of skin only affects the results of smaller probes. at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention
Primary Assessing the change in functional activity of the hand By using Modified DASH questionnaire will be used for functional activity of the hand. The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire is a 30-item questionnaire that looks at the ability of a patient to perform certain upper extremity activities. This questionnaire is a self-report questionnaire that patients can rate difficulty and interference with daily life on a 5 point Likert scale. The QuickDASH tool uses a 5-point Likert scale from which the patient can select an appropriate number corresponding to his/her severity/function level. at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention
