Effect of Neurodynamic Technique on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome "Single Case Report"

Abstract

Objective: The study was designed to assess the effect of neurodynamic techniques in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) patients.
 Methods: The study focused on women with CTS. The phalen’s test, compression (durkan’s) test, pain assessment (VAS), the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) were used to measure symptoms related to CTS. Neurodynamic technique, cervical lateral glide and sliding technique were used as treatment protocol techniques. The patient underwent three sessions weekly for three consecutive weeks. 
 Results: At the end of the last session, the outcome results improved in all data for the patient initially. The patient pain reduced from 9 to 2degree using VAS scale. The CTS symptoms were decreased using neurodynamic technique. 
 Conclusion: Neurodynamic technique is one of the most important technique used to treat the tension of the nervous system, because it reducing the intrinsic pressure and improving the elasticity of neural tissues. 
 Originality and value: This study's originality lies in its tailored approach to CTS treatment and its contribution to science by shedding light on the effectiveness of neurodynamic techniques in addressing a widely encountered medical issue.
