Summary

This small pilot study looked at whether osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT) can reduce stiffness in the median nerve and improve symptoms in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Ten participants received OMT along with standard care. Researchers measured nerve elasticity, hand function, and symptom scores before and after treatment. The goal was to see if OMT could be a helpful addition to conservative therapy.
