Randomized controlled trial.
Two-point discrimination (2PD) test can be used to assess both clinical condition and the effects of therapy in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) patients.
To determine whether there are specific differences in 2PD between symptomatic and asymptomatic hands in CTS patients and to evaluate the impact of 2 therapy regimes on 2PD in patients with CTS.
Therapy for the neurodynamic mobilization group was based on manual therapy and neurodynamic techniques. Therapy for the electrophysical modalities group was based on red and infrared laser and ultrasound therapy using a contact method applied in the transverse ligament area. Therapeutic cycle consisted of 20 therapy sessions delivered at twice-weekly intervals.
After therapy, 2PD in the symptomatic limbs in the neurodynamic mobilization and electrophysical modalities groups significantly improved (p < .001). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the treatment groups.
Both therapy programs used in this study were beneficial for improving 2PD.
随机对照试验。
两点辨别觉(2PD)测试可用于评估腕管综合征(CTS)患者的临床状况和治疗效果。
确定CTS患者有症状手与无症状手之间2PD是否存在特定差异,并评估两种治疗方案对CTS患者2PD的影响。
神经动力松动术组的治疗基于手法治疗和神经动力技术。电物理治疗组的治疗基于红色和红外激光以及采用接触法应用于横韧带区域的超声治疗。治疗周期包括每周两次进行的20次治疗。
治疗后,神经动力松动术组和电物理治疗组有症状肢体的2PD显著改善(p <.001)。然而,治疗组之间无统计学显著差异。
本研究中使用的两种治疗方案均有利于改善2PD。
