Evaluation of the clinical efficacy of conservative treatment in the management of carpal tunnel syndrome

Abstract

In the intermediate stage of CTS, SCT was an effective treatment to improve symptoms and functional status. Tendon and nerve gliding exercises alone were inferior to either SCT alone or SCT in combination with gliding exercises.

Nociceptive and Histomorphometric Evaluation of Neural Mobilization in Experimental Injury of the Median Nerve

“…Results similar to those of the present study were obtained by Bardak et al [30], however, in humans. The authors randomized 111 patients into 3 groups: splint + local steroids injections (group 1), only neural mobilization (group 2), and both interventions (group 3).…”

Comparison of Longitudinal Sciatic Nerve Movement With Different Mobilization Exercises: An In Vivo Study Utilizing Ultrasound Imaging

“…In fact, several authors have stated that the exercises utilized were chosen solely on those used in previous studies. 1,3,4,32,41 The use and description of neural mo-T T STUDY DESIGN: Controlled laboratory study using a single-group, within-subjects comparison.…”

The Effectiveness of Exercise for the Management of Musculoskeletal Disorders and Injuries of the Elbow, Forearm, Wrist, and Hand: A Systematic Review by the Ontario Protocol for Traffic Injury Management (OPTIMa) Collaboration

“…Specifically, there were important differences in baseline characteristics between treatment groups that were not adjusted for in the analysis. 43 Furthermore, the outcome measures had unknown validity and reliability. Finally, there was no mention of whether an intention-to-treat analysis was carried out.…”
