About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effects of Scaphoid and Hamate Mobilization and Neural Mobilization on Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: a Randomized Controlled Trial

To rule out the effects bone mobilization and neural mobilization in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Read the detailed description

A Randomized control study of 3 month period will be conducted at Riphah International University Faisalabad. Patients will be enrolled by purposive sampling based on pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were randomly allocated into groups. The Patients of group A will receive scaphoid, hamate mobilization with kinesio taping and group B will receive neural mobilization with kinesiotaping. Group A will receive neural mobilization and Group B will receive scaphoid and hamate moilization. The Patient's outcome will be distinguished by Visual Analogue scale and the data of the patients will be noted pre-treatment and post-treatment. Informed consent will be taken from each patient. Data entry and analysis will prepare through Statistical Package of Social Sciences Version 20.

Being tested
Neural mobilization, Scaphoid , hamate mobilization
Medical subject headings
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Neural mobilizationOther

    Neural mobilization and bone are two common physical therapy interventions used for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Neural mobilization reinstates the plasticity of the nervous system and restoring the capacity of stretching.

  • Scaphoid , hamate mobilizationOther

    Bone mobilization in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome involves gliding at scaphoid and hamate.

Scaphoid, hamate mobilizationExperimentalScaphoid and hamate mobilization for 20 minutes, at the end of session kinesio taping will bandage till the next session.
Receives: Other: Scaphoid , hamate mobilization

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Visual analogue scale

    A Visual Analogue Scale is a measurement instrument that tries to measure a characteristic or attitude that is believed to range across a continuum of values and cannot easily be directly measured. It is often used in epidemiologic and clinical research to measure the intensity or frequency of various symptoms.

    Measured: 12th Week

  2. Dynamometer

    It is a small device that the examiner holds against the patient's limb as the patient exerts a maximal force. The examiner counters the force "make test", or tries to break the contraction "break test".

    Measured: 12th Week

  3. Boston questionnaire

    The Boston Carpal Tunnel Score is a patient-reported questionnaire that examines symptom severity and overall functional status of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome.

    Measured: 12th Week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Neural mobilization and Scaphoid , hamate mobilization in people with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Visual analogue scale (time frame: 12th Week). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jun 2022.
