Effect of Blood Flow Restriction on Pain Perception, Grip Strength and Nerve Conductivity in CTS Patients.
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
In brief
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of blood flow restriction (BFR) on pain perception, grip strength and nerve conductivity in patients suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The main question it aims to answer is: Does performing blood flow restriction training decrease pain, improve grip strength and does not alter nerve conduction velocity in patients with (CTS)? The participants will be divided into two groups to be compared: Patients in the control group will receive the conventional physical therapy program only. In contrast, participants in the experimental group will receive blood flow restriction (BFR) training in addition to a conventional physical therapy program (which includes an orthotic device, tendon, and nerve-gliding exercises).
