In Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Median Nerve Conduction is Evaluated After Nerve Mobilizations

Distal motor latency (APB) (ms),Motor amplitude (APB) (mV),Median motor velocity (m/s),Median sensory conduction (digit II) (13 cm) (m/sec),Sensory amplitude (µV)

This project is linked to the line of research on carpal tunnel syndrome, of the PhysiUZerapy
 research group, belonging to the University of Zaragoza. Within this line, the biomechanical
 and physiological effect of the proposed technique has been investigated, both in healthy
 subjects, in cadavers and in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), resulting in the
 reading of 2 doctoral theses, the publication of 9 articles in high-impact journals. and the
 patent for a splint for the treatment of pathology. This project aims to provide information
 that is still lacking on the immediate effect of these techniques in patients with CTS. For
 this, there will be three groups of patients from the Lozano Blesa University Clinical
 Hospital distributed randomly. In two of the groups, sliding and neural tension techniques
 will be carried out (case group). The remaining group (control group) will be taken as a
 reference by performing a placebo treatment. Before and after carrying out these techniques,
 electrophysiological data will be collected to be able to compare them. This comparison is
 based on highlighting the differences between the data before the techniques and after, as
 well as between the case group and the control group.
