简要总结
The study will be carried out on a total number of fifty-four females with age ranged 40 - 60 years old suffering from CTS post mastectomy ,the patients will be randomly assigned into two groups equal in number (27 patients for each group from Damanhur Medical National institute).
- -Group (A): This group will include 27 patients will receive laser acupuncture technique 3 times per week in addition to traditional physical therapy program (myofascial release, nerve flossing ex., Tendon gliding ex. strengthening ex., ROM ex. and night splint) for 8 weeks.
- -Group (B): This group will include 27 patients will receive traditional physical therapy program (myofascial release, nerve flossing ex., Tendon gliding ex., strengthening ex., ROM ex. and night splint) for 8 weeks.

结局指标
主要结局
Median Motor Nerve Conduction Study
时间窗: 8weeks
With the help of electrode /conducting jelly, the recording was placed closed to motor of Abductor Policis Brevis and referance electrode 3 cm distal at the metacarpophalangeal joint. The ground electrode is placed between stimulation and recording electrode. A supramaximal stimulation was given at first to wrist and then at below. The difference between two latent period in msec gives the time taken by the impulses to travel from the elbow to the wrist.
Median Sensory Nerve Conduction Study:
时间窗: 8 weeks
The Orthodromic conduction recording was done in this case. Here the recording electrode was placed 3cm proximal to the distal wrist crease 3cm proximal to the recording electrode. The ring electrode were placed in the second and third digit and it was used for stimulation of the nerve with the cathode placed at the proximal inter phalangeal. The grounding electrode was placed between stimulating electrode and grounding electrode.
次要结局
- Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ)(8weeks)
- Hand-Held Dynamometer (HHD)(8weeks)
