Summary

This study tests whether nerve gliding exercises, tendon gliding exercises, or a combination of both can reduce pain and improve hand function in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups and followed for changes in pain and symptoms. The goal is to find a non-surgical, low-cost approach to managing this common condition.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
neuromobilization techniques and tendon gliding exercises
What this could lead to
If effective, these simple exercises could offer a drug-free way to reduce pain and improve hand function in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 52 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises may not work for severe cases or those with other conditions.
