简要总结
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is the most common mononeuropathy that results from the compression of median nerve in carpal tunnel, leading to entrapment neuropathy. The symptoms become aggravated during drawing, typing or playing video games. The aim of study will be to compare the effects of Kaltenborn and Mulligan mobilisation on pain, disability and hand function in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome.
详细描述
This research will adopt a Randomized Clinical Trial design. Upon approval of the synopsis, ethical clearance would be taken and necessary permissions from Ejaz Hospital Lahore. Through convenience sampling technique, 48 patients will be included which will be allocated using simple random sampling through sealed opaque enveloped into Group A and Group B. Mobilisation technique includes moving the proximal row of carpal bones either dorsally to promote wrist extension or to the palmar side to promote wrist flexion. Group A will be treated with Grade 3 Kaltenborn mobilisation. Grade 3 distraction was chosen to avoid contact between the articular surfaces and to stimulate hypoalgesic factors and Group B will be treated with Mulligan mobilisation. Outcome measures will be conducted through pain, disability and hand function questionnaire after 6 weeks. Data will be analyzed during SPSS software version 25. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups.

结局指标
主要结局
Numeric Pain Rating Scale
时间窗: 4 weeks
Changes from baseline, Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) is the most commonly used scale in which the pain rate ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). The NPRS has validity of 0.86 to 0.95 and reliability of 0.96.
Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire
时间窗: 4 weeks
Questionnaire used to assess functional status and symptom severity. There are two subscales in BCTQ. The Functional Status Scale evaluates hand function, whereas the Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) provides PRO data on the degree of symptoms. Eleven items make up the Symptom Severity scale, which rates symptoms related to pain, paresthesia, numbness, weakness, and grasping trouble. Eight items make up the Functional Status Scale (FSS), which evaluates functional deficiencies. Form 1 (no symptoms/difficulties) to 5 (worst symptoms/cannot do the task at all) each item is graded.(20). In BCQT, SSS has reliability 0.89 and FSS has 0.93.
