Median Nerve Injury
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study are 1) to determinate the effectiveness of motor imagery or strength training in differens aspects of pain modulation. 2) evaluate the functional improvement of the hand by a motor imagery protocol.
Interventions
OTHERAction observation
look at a clip of a hand doing neurodynamic exercises.
OTHERMirror therapy
With a mirror glasses on, do the neurodynamic exercises with the non-dominant hand while the patient is looking at the dominant hand
active movement of the dominant hand. Do neurodynamic exercises.
OTHERStrength

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Neural mechanosensitive | Change from baseline at 2 weeks | Upper Limb Neurodynamic test 1 (ULNT1) |
| Conditioned pain modulation | Change from baseline at 2 weeks | Diffused noxious inhibitory control system will be measure with tourniquet test |
| Pressure pain threshold | Change from baseline at 2 weeks | Three consecutive trials of pressure pain threshold on the active trigger point at a rate of 1 kg/sec at intervals of 30 seconds were conducted. |
| Cold hyperalgesia | Change from baseline at 2 weeks | 10 seconds of a cold pack and after that, rating the pain from 0 to 10 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Strength_grip | Change from baseline at 2 weeks | grip strength without pain |
| Psychological factors_Kinesiophobia | Change from baseline at 2 weeks | Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia. Total scores goes from 11 to 44.The higher values indicate worst outcomes. |
| Imagine movement capacity | Change from baseline at 2 weeks | testing the capacity of imagine that their own body is movement. Movement Imagery Questionnaire-Revised (MIQ-R questionaire). top score 56 and bottom score 8. The higher values indicates a better outcome. |
| Psychological factors_Anxiety | Change from baseline at 2 weeks | State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-T). Top score 60 and bottom score 0. The higher values indicate worst outcomes. |
| Psychological factors_Depression | Change from baseline at 2 weeks | Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II). the scores goes from 0 to 63. The higher values indicate worst outcomes. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) |
