Investigation of the Efficacy of Virtual Reality Mediated Neurodynamic Exercises in Carpal Tunnel...
Carpal Tunnel SyndromeCarpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common nerve entrapment syndrome. It occurs as a result of compression of the median nerve as it passes through a restricted osteofibrous canal in the wrist. Known as the carpal tunnel, this canal contains the wrist bones, transverse carpal ligament, median nerve, and digital flexor tendons. Edema, tendon inflammation, hormonal changes, and manual activity can contribute to increased nerve compression and sometimes cause pain. In this research, the investigators aim to present the virtual reality-mediated exercise program to patients non-immersive. It is planned to use the Leap Motion motion sensor to detect hand and wrist movements and to monitor the gamified setup on the computer screen. In the system that will be presented via computer and hand motion sensor, the patient will be asked to perform therapeutic exercises for the diagnosis of CTS in a scenario developed through virtual reality. The investigators predict that patients will actively participate in virtual reality-mediated therapeutic exercise program with high motivation and their functional results will be better than classical exercise programs. In our research, the investigators aim to present the tendon and nerve gliding exercises with proven effectiveness in patients with CTS, with non-immersive virtual reality systems, and to compare their effectiveness with the classical exercise program.
Effects of Upper Extremity Manual Lymphatic Drainage on Symptom Severity, Hand Functions, Electrophysiological...
Carpal Tunnel SyndromeThis study is aimed to investigate the effects of upper extremity manual lymphatic drainage, which is applied to remove edema from the carpal tunnel region in addition to conventional exercise therapy in Carpal tunnel syndrome patients on findings of clinical, ultrasonographic, and electrophysiological.
Effect of Kinesiotaping and Night Splinting in Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndome
Carpal Tunnel SyndromeCarpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) which is defined as a symptomatic compression neuropathy of the median nerve at the level of the wrist. Different types of splints are used for improving the function and decreasing the pain intensity and symptoms in the rehabilitation of patients with CTS. However effectiveness of treatment by taping has never been investigated in physiotherapy and rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to compare the short-term effect of conventional physiotherapy only, and also kinesio taping and night splinting in patients with CTS.
High Intensity Laser Therapy in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel SyndromeEntrapment Neuropathy2 moreThis research aims to investigate the effect of high-intensity laser therapy on pain, function, nerve conduction studies and grip strength in patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome.
Extra Corporeal Shock Wave Versus Kinesio Tape in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel SyndromeThis study would be conducted to answer the following question: was there any difference between the effects of Shock wave versus Kinesio Tape in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome for post-menopausal women.
Effect of Out of Plane and In Plane Injection Techniques in Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome...
Carpal Tunnel SyndromePain1 moreThe aim of this study, using two different injection techniques, To evaluate the patients in terms of the pain they feel during the application of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) injection, Evaluation in terms of undesirable effects developing after injection, To evaluate the degree of pain/drowsiness, symptom severity and functionality, and median nerve diameter at the end of the first month after the injection, and to evaluate the relationship of these parameters with the pain felt by the patients during the injection.
Effectiveness of Mirror Therapy in Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel SyndromeCarpal 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.
