Study Summary

In the present investigation the pain reduction effects of a physiotherapy technique combined with pharmaceutical gabapentin treatment will be compared to those produced by gabapentin (only) treatment, in subjects who suffer the signs and symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Participants must be medically diagnosed with unilateral carpal tunnel syndrome (with confirmative electrodiagnostic findings).

  • Full understanding of written and spoken Spanish (language).

  • Participants must freely consent to participate.

  • The presence of positive Phalen an Tinel sings.

  • The presence of carpal tunnel syndrome signs and symptoms

Exclusion

Total Participants: 21
Treatment Group(s): 2
Primary Treatment: Median nerve neural mobilization and oral gabapentin
Phase: 4

Study Description

The present randomized clinical trial will perform a comparison of the pain reduction effects produced by the application of a non invasive and non pharmacological median nerve neural mobilization (physiotherapy treatment) combined with a pharmaceutical oral gabapentin treatment, to those effects produced by a gabapentin (only) treatment. Additionally, effects over the functionality of the affected upper limb will be evaluated and compared. Subjects will be invited to participate and randomly allocated to 2 different groups.
