Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the combined effects of neurodynamics with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique on reducing pain and improving range of motion in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. This study evaluates whether neurodynamics combined with PNF is an effective approach in treating CTS compared to baseline treatment, as both techniques are well known for their individual effects. This treatment is given for 2 weeks, 5 days per week with 10 repetitions for each exercise.

Conditions

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)

Interventions

OTHER

Baseline Treatment

They were provided with common conservative physical therapy treatment for 2 weeks, 5 days per week, following carpal tunnel syndrome. These treatments included use of a wrist splint, especially at night, along with 10-15 min of cold and ultrasound therapy. Medications like NSAIDs were given for 5 days.

OTHER

Neurodynamic and PNF

These 2 exercises were provided in 10 repetitions for 2 weeks (duration), 5 days per week (frequency). i) PNF techniques used in carpal tunnel treatment includes 1. Rhythmic Initiation 2. Agonistic Reversals. ii) For Neurodynamic (1) Distal nerve tension technique :Hand was placed in six different positions each position maintained for 7 second and have 5 repetitions for each step this is done in median nerve tension technique (2) nerve slide
