Neural Mobilization and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Sudan

Introduction: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a collection of symptoms occurs after compression of Median Nerve and the Carpal Tunnel [1]. Median Nerve mobilization is one of the interventions used in the treatment of CTS [1]. Several studies reported optimum results with the use of neurodynamic mobilization as a conservative treatment for CTS patients [1]. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the neural mobilization of the median nerve in the management of carpal tunnel syndrome. Methodology: Analytical case control was used in the study to assist the neural mobilization of the median nerve at physiotherapy clinics in Khartoum, Sudan. There were 30 participants diagnosed with CTS participated in the study and divided to control and experimental groups including 15 participants in each. Data collections used questionnaires and standard data sheet. Data analysis used Special Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21. All ethical consideration for approval and confidence been obtained. Results: Each control and experimental group showed significant differences between pre and post treatment and p=value were less than (0.05). No significant differences were found between control and experimental groups in the study. Conclusion: Using Ultrasound, Exercise, and Neural Mobilization of Median Nerve for CTS gave significant positive rehabilitation effect. No significant differences between control and experimental group in this study.
