Effectiveness of Neuromobilisation for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Effects of Neurodynamic Sequencing on Pain, Wrist Range of Movement and Functional Disability in Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
This study is testing two different ways of using a technique called Neuromobilisation to see which one helps people with carpal tunnel syndrome feel better.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the effectiveness of the Neuromobilisation technique in treating patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition characterized by median nerve compression at the wrist. The trial will utilize randomized methods to assess the impact of two variations of the Neurodynamic Slider Technique, applied from both proximal to distal and distal to proximal. The goal is to determine which approach is more beneficial for patients suffering from non-traumatic carpal tunnel syndrome. This research aims to fill the gap in existing evidence regarding the efficacy of Neuromobilisation in this patient population.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are individuals diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome who test positive on provocative tests such as Phalen's test, Wrist decompression test, and Tinel's test.
Not a fit: Patients with inflammation, tumors around the wrist, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, or joint hypermobility may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a non-surgical treatment option for patients suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, potentially improving their quality of life.
How similar studies have performed: While there is limited evidence on the effectiveness of Neuromobilisation for carpal tunnel syndrome, this approach is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in clinical trials.
