Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Conditions
Brief summary
To rule out the effects bone mobilization and neural mobilization in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Detailed description
A Randomized control study of 3 month period will be conducted at Riphah International University Faisalabad. Patients will be enrolled by purposive sampling based on pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were randomly allocated into groups. The Patients of group A will receive scaphoid, hamate mobilization with kinesio taping and group B will receive neural mobilization with kinesiotaping. Group A will receive neural mobilization and Group B will receive scaphoid and hamate moilization. The Patient's outcome will be distinguished by Visual Analogue scale and the data of the patients will be noted pre-treatment and post-treatment. Informed consent will be taken from each patient. Data entry and analysis will prepare through Statistical Package of Social Sciences Version 20.
Interventions
OTHERNeural mobilization
Neural mobilization and bone are two common physical therapy interventions used for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Neural mobilization reinstates the plasticity of the nervous system and restoring the capacity of stretching.
OTHERScaphoid , hamate mobilization
Bone mobilization in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome involves gliding at scaphoid and hamate.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual analogue scale | 12th Week | A Visual Analogue Scale is a measurement instrument that tries to measure a characteristic or attitude that is believed to range across a continuum of values and cannot easily be directly measured. It is often used in epidemiologic and clinical research to measure the intensity or frequency of various symptoms. |
| Dynamometer | 12th Week | It is a small device that the examiner holds against the patient's limb as the patient exerts a maximal force. The examiner counters the force make test, or tries to break the contraction break test. |
| Boston questionnaire | 12th Week | The Boston Carpal Tunnel Score is a patient-reported questionnaire that examines symptom severity and overall functional status of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. |
