Effectiveness of Neurodynamic Mobalization on Pain and Functional Disability in Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome’a Randomised Control Trial

Introduction Carpal tunnel is a very common dysfunction of wrist the incidence rate of wrist pain is seen up to 30% to 45%. Nerve gliding techniques along with conventional therapy has proven to be very beneficial in treating carpal tunnel syndrome.  Methodology A pre-post experimental study was conducted on 40 participants aged 18–55 years with active wrist. Pain and disability were assessed using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and Boston Carpal tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) before and after Treatment.  Results Patients in Group A showed a greater percentage decrease in NPRS scores (46.07%) compared to Group B (35.18%). Similarly, Group A demonstrated a higher percentage reduction in BCT scores (28.77%) than Group B (16.78%). These findings indicate that the intervention in Group A was more effective in reducing both pain and functional disability.  Conclusion Both nerve gliding exercises and conventional physiotherapy interventions were effective in decreasing pain and disability. However, nerve gliding offered superior improvement in functional recovery and should be considered as an effective component of conservative CTS management.
