Sponsor's own description

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most prevalent entrapment neuropathy. CTS presents with motor and sensory disturbances, including pain, paraesthesia, and numbness in the fingers and hand. Therefore, CTS has a great impact on the activities of daily living. There are non-surgical treatments that can be effective in people who experience mild or moderate symptoms derived from CTS. Among them, flexor tendon and median nerve sliding exercises may offer an improvement in pain severity and symptoms, strength, wrist joint range, functionality, and quality of life for people with CTS. However, there are few studies on the effectiveness of treatments focused on the mechanisms of neuroplasticity through techniques aimed at rehabilitating different deficits. Mirror therapy (MT) may be beneficial in musculoskeletal injuries that occur with pain and reduced functionality of a body segment. For example, in people with acute stroke, orthopaedic hand injuries or complex regional pain syndrome type 1. However, its effect has not been studied in patients with CTS in mild or moderate stages. Thus, the objective of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of MT with conventional CTS exercises in symptoms of median nerve compression, pain, mobility, strength and motor functionality in patients with CTS.
