简要总结
The aim of this study is to check the effects of Pain Neuroscience education and standard rehabilitation regime in patients of carpal tunnel syndrome.
详细描述
In 2017 a stud assessed effectiveness of standard conservative protocol of CTS and nerve mobilization along with and without PNE and documented that standard conservative care seems to be the most appropriate option for pain relief, although neuroscience education might be a complementary option to accelerate recovery of function. More high-quality research is still necessary to determine its effectiveness and the subgroups of patients who may respond better to this treatment.
In 2019 a study was done to assess the effect of PNE and standard rehabilitation exercises on the 41 patients of CTS. The experimenting group was given one session of PNE plus exercises and the control group was given exercise therapy only. Patients were randomly allocated and double blinded. The analysis of study showed better results with experimental group rather than control group.
Many studies have found the effects of standard rehabilitation of Carpal Tunnel syndrome and their results in controlling pain and dysfunction. However as per researchers' knowledge little literature is available on effects of pain neuroscience education and standard rehabilitation regime in carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore, this study6 is going to determine the effects of effectiveness of Pain Neuroscience education and standard rehabilitation regime in patients of carpal tunnel syndrome.

结局指标
主要结局
Numeric pain rate scale (NPRS)
时间窗: 4th week
Patient level of pain will be assessed using this scale. This scale ranges from 0 to 10. 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 indicates "worst pain.
次要结局
- Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS)(4th week)
