Carpel Tunnel Syndrome and Physical Therapy Modalities

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Clinical Trial

Official title:
Pulsed Magnetic Field Versus Ultrasound in Treatment of Postnatal Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Randomized Control Trial on Female Egyptian Population

Clinical Trial Summary

Carpel tunnel syndrome (CTS) is very common complain during pregnancy with high percentage to continue postnatal. Conservative treatment is more recommended in these cases. There are many physical therapy modalities proposed to treat CTS without knowing which modality is better than the other. So the aim of this study to compare the effect of two modalities in treating CTS in postnatal females.

Clinical Trial Description

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common peripheral nerve entrapment disorders in the upper limb. CTS is common during pregnancy especially in the third trimester as well, a significant percentage of females postnatal may still have some complaints up to at least 3 years postnatal.

Purpose: To compare the effect of pulsed magnetic field (PEMF) versus ultrasound (US) in treating patients with CTS. Forty postnatal female patients with idiopathic CTS were assigned randomly into two equal groups. One group received PEMF with nerve and tendon gliding exercises for the wrist 3 times for week for 4 weeks. The other group received US plus the same exercises. Pain level, sensory and motor distal latencies of the median nerve (MSDL and MMDL), sensory and motor conduction velocities of the median nerve (MSCV and MMCV), functional status scale and hand grip strength were assessed pre and post treatment ;
