Compression Neuropathy, Carpal Tunnel Clinical Trial

Official title: Neuropathy Along the Median Nerve: Etiology of Symptoms Associated With the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, a Preliminary Study

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

In carpal tunnel syndrome,trigger points are often found in the biceps muscle,in the aponeurosis of the biceps and in the pronator teres muscle.

We hypothesise that by eliminating these trigger points,using ischemic compressions, may diminish the symptoms.
