Summary
This study tested whether taking over-the-counter ibuprofen or doing specific nerve stretches (called neural mobilization) can reduce pain and improve hand function in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. 123 adults with confirmed carpal tunnel were assigned to one of three groups: ibuprofen, nerve stretches, or no treatment. The goal was to see which approach works better for easing pain and helping the hand work normally again.
