Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to compare two types of intervention (stretching and myofascial manipulation) in the treatment of individuals with bilateral idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome. This comparison applies to two groups, the clinical group is composed of patients of mild or moderate degree, whereas the surgical group is composed of a patient with at least one hand in severe degree and interventions are made after surgery.


Clinical Trial Description

Using clinical criteria and ENMG, individuals will be divided into a clinical group when they have a mild and / or moderate degree of involvement in the hands and a surgical group when the impairment intensity is severe in at least one hand. The individuals in the clinical group will be randomized into two groups, with one group starting with stretching and a second group starting with hook-assisted myofascial manipulation. After four weeks of initial therapy and one week of wash-out the assessment tests described above will be applied. The groups will be inverted, maintaining the duration and frequency of the previous stage of the proposed therapies. After four weeks with a week of wash-out the tests will be reapplied in order to evaluate the therapeutic response. Individuals with severe idiopathic CTS will undergo surgery using a standard open technique with local anesthesia and after four weeks, randomization will be made for postoperative treatment on both hands by stretching or myofascial manipulation in the same manner described for the clinical group. Questionnaires will be applied in order to understand the patient's symptoms, functions, pain and quality of life. In addition, tests will be used to assess hand strength, sensitivity and hand ability. ;
