简要总结
The goal of this study is to compare the effects of Kinesiotaping and Active Release Technique in patients with CTS to see which method is better for improving Pain, Grip Strength, Range of Motion and functional disability.
详细描述
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common nerve entrapment condition that causes pain, numbness, tingling and weakness in the hand and wrist. People suffering from CTS complain of pain, decreased ROM, loss of grip strength and in severe cases, disability. This happens when there is an increased pressure within the wrist on a nerve called "Median Nerve". This nerve provides sensations to the thumb, index, middle and half of the ring finger. People who are most susceptible to CTS are computer/keyboard workers. High force, extreme wrist motions, vibrations are causes. Other factors like genetics and pregnancy can also cause CTS. There are a lot of treatment options for CTS such as use of orthotics, steroidal injections, surgery and physical therapy. The aim of this study will be to determine the effects of kinesiotaping with and without active release technique on pain, grip strength, functional disability and range of motion in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome.

结局指标
主要结局
NPRS
时间窗: 3 months
The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst imaginable pain)
Boston CTS Questionnaire
时间窗: 3 months
The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) is a disease-specific measure of selfreported symptom severity and functional status. It is frequently used in the reporting of outcomes from trials into interventions for carpal tunnel syndrome
hand dynamometer
时间窗: 3 months
A hand dynamometer is an evaluation tool that's used to measure isometric grip force (hand grip strength). Some versions use hydraulics to measure the force while others use electronic load cells. Once the grip position is adjusted, the user holds the handle and squeezes the handle
