Clinical Trial Summary

To study the effects of Neural Glides with and without using therapeutic ultrasound and functional status in pregnant computer workers with CTS


Clinical Trial Description

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a median nerve compression and results in significant discomfort and pain, daily living activity limitation, loss of sleep and work disability. Carpal tunnel Syndrome is more common in pregnancy because in pregnancy prolactin hormone increase the fluid retention in extra capsule and results in soft tissue swelling. Several therapeutically treatments have been advocated for the carpal tunnel syndrome including Mobilizations, nerve gliding, tendon gliding, Ultrasound, icing, Massaging. Women experience pregnancy several times, and if they acquire Carpal tunnel syndrome, invasive treatments cannot be used, the probability of reoccurrence of Carpal tunnel syndrome in the next pregnancy with higher intensity. Use of non-invasive treatment methods are more beneficial. Carpal tunnel syndrome very common nowadays as most of the population is involved in computer work by some means especially the computer working ladies who always use the conventional mouse and key board for their work. Pregnant Women diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel syndrome and are computer working would be selected for this study. Diagnostic criteria would be positive Tinel's and Phalen's. The subjects will be divided into two groups. Group A (Experimental) and group B (Control). Group A will perform with nerve glides with therapeutic ultrasound. The control group does only exercise program (tendon and nerve gliding exercises). Both groups are assessed by outcome measures pre and post interventions. Pain symptoms is measured with the help of Visual Analogue Scale, The Boston Carpal Tunnel questionnaire form will administer for the patient evaluation Functional Status Scale and Symptom Severity Scale. ;
