| ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: | NCT00634699 |
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to find the efficacy of treating the muscles in the inside (biceps,pronator teres) of the arm in order to eliminate the carpal tunnel syndrome .The authors hypothesise that eliminating the trigger points located in these muscles would diminish the symptoms associated with the carpal tunnel syndrome.

One: Experimental
Ischemic Compression on Triggers Points on Muscles along the Median Nerve. Active Comparator
|
Procedure: Active Comparator, ischemic compressions
Ischemic Compressions,3 times a week,5 weeks.
|
The carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition which should treated by surgery only when conservative approaches has been tried.In the present trial the authors intend to find the effectiveness of treating the triggers points located in the biceps muscle, the pronator teres muscle and the biceps aponeurosis on the symptoms normally associated with the carpal tunnel syndrome.
The technique used in this trial will be ischemic compression(thumb tip pressure)on the trigger points located on the previous sites.
