Filter by:The design of our study is a randomized, controlled, double-blind study. It is planned to be completed in twenty-four weeks with 34 participants. The main purpose of this study is to examine and compare the acute effects of two different kinesio tape applications on the carpal tunnel in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome by ultrasonographic method.
The main objective of this study is to compare the complete section of the transverse carpal ligament with another median nerve release technique and to determine if the incidence of post-surgical pillar pain is lower for either of the two surgical techniques. As secondary objectives, we also seek to determine if the postsurgical grip and pincer strength and the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) score are better for either of the two surgical techniques.
The objective of this experimental study is to determine the effect of soft tissue massage along with mobilization technique on intensity of pain by visual analog scale and functional status by using Jamar hand-held dynamometer, Pinch Gauge and Boston Scale for carpal tunnel syndrome questionnaire in Carpal tunnel syndrome patients. It is being conducted on patients with Carpal tunnel syndrome at Sindh Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Karachi and Neurological outpatient department of Dr. Ruth K. M. Pfau, Civil Hospital Karachi among Sixty participants with mild and moderate severity of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome will be randomly allocated in two groups after initial screening by a consultant physiatrist according to CTS-6 scale. Written informed consent will be taken from each participant. Group A will be treated with soft tissue massage (Medenci hand massage technique) along with joint (radiocarpal and inter-carpal) and median nerve mobilization slider technique while group B will be treated with joint (radiocarpal and inter-carpal) and median nerve mobilization slider technique only. Participant will be evaluated by visual analog pain scale, Boston scale of carpal tunnel syndrome, dynamometer and -pinch gauge, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale and Pain Anxiety Symptoms Scale on day 1 and last treatment session.
The purpose for doing this study is to determine that whether use of Power Ball in form of resistance training will be effective in increasing grip strength in carpel tunnel syndrome patient and possible benefits of the regime as effective means of rehabilitation for wrist and hand injuries. Moreover for increasing grip strength it can be used as an adjunct for physical therapy treatment.
Carpal Tunnel (CT) syndrome is a collection of characteristic symptoms and signs that occurs following compression of the median nerve within the CT. In Trigger Finger / trigger thumb (TF), one of the most common causes of hand pain and disability, the flexor tendon causes painful popping or snapping as the patient flexes and extends the digit. In case of failure of non-operative treatments, patients with CT syndrome or TF are operated. Clearly any improvement in surgical device design would be of great advantage to the patient and the surgeon. Spirecut's single use, pre-CE Sono-Instruments (SI) allow the percutaneous treatment of Carpal Tunnel (CT)syndrome and Trigger Finger/thumb (TF) under sonography (instead of open or endoscopic approach). Two models will be assessed in this clinical investigation: 1. The Carpal Tunnel Sono-Instrument® (CT-SI), for CT syndrome release, by progressively cutting the transverse carpal ligament. 2. The Trigger Finger Sono-Instrument® (TF-SI), for TF release by progressively cutting the A1 annual pulley. Using those SI, surgical procedures can be performed without endangering adjacent structures (e.g. median nerve and branches, ulnar pedicle, superficial carpal arch, digital pedicles, flexor tendons).
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a prevalent condition, up to 9% in women and 0.6% in men. Surgical decompression in the most effective treatment. After surgery, approximately 1,8% of the patients develop a wound infection. Possibly, the type of sutures used can influence the prevalence of wound infection. In this RCT the incidence of infection is investigated between the use of absorbable versus non-absorbable sutures in carpal tunnel release.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common peripheral entrapment neuropathy of the upper limb. Previous experiments found that ultrasound-guided median nerve hydrodissection with 5% dextrose water could ameliorate the condition of carpal tunnel syndrome. Oral administration of vitamin B 12 had been reported to reduce the discomfort from peripheral neuropathy although the level of evidence is not strong. This prospective, double-blind randomized control trial aims to compare the effects of different kinds of the injection agents on carpal tunnel syndrome.
This research study is being conducted to investigate the safety and effectiveness of the drug Fisetin for mild or moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) occurs as a result of compression of the median nerve under the transverse ligament along the carpal tunnel. The main cause of median nerve compression and carpal tunnel syndrome is increased volume in the carpal tunnel. The pressure that edema puts on the nerve must be controlled in the early period. Edema that persists beyond the inflammatory process can contribute to the fibrotic stage, delay healing, and even cause complications such as pain and stiffness. Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a specialized technique that involves gentle massage techniques and follows lymphatic pathways from proximal to distal and then from distal to proximal. On the basis of this concept; Increasing circulation by stimulating the lymph system, removing biochemical residues, reducing edema and pain, and regulating sympathetic and parasympathetic system responses. It is known that MLD rapidly regulates lymphatic circulation by creating a change in interstitial fluid pressure, thus preventing even arthrofibrotic tissue that may form after a traumatic situation, reducing edema that predisposes to pain, and increasing mobility. Nerve gliding exercises are another method used in treatment. By providing a sliding movement of the tendons and median nerve in the distal-proximal direction, mobilization of the surrounding soft tissues is achieved and dynamic ischemia is terminated. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of manual lymphatic drainage and nerve mobilization on clinical and ultrasonographic findings in carpal tunnel syndrome.
The main purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of repeated administrations of BoNT-A in subjects with NP attributable to carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) through a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Further research has shown that BoNT-A has analgesic properties independently from its action on muscle tone, possibly by acting on neurogenic inflammation. Therefore, the study drug may be better than other treatments surgical or non-surgical currently available for the treatment of CTS.
