Comparative Effect of Scaphoid, Hamate Mobilization and Neural Mobilization in Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Interventions: Other: Neural mobilization; Other: Scaphoid , hamate mobilization

• Registration Number: NCT05261880
• Lead Sponsor: Riphah International University

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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Neural mobilization	Neural mobilization	Neural mobilization will be given for 15 minutes with 3 repetitions. After mobilization, Kinesio taping will be applied and it will bandage till the next session.
Scaphoid, hamate mobilization	Scaphoid , hamate mobilization	Scaphoid and hamate mobilization for 20 minutes, at the end of session kinesio taping will bandage till the next session.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
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.
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.
