The patients were randomised into control group 1 and experimental group 2. Group 1 received conservative treatment including ultrasound therapy, wrist splinting, and tendon-gliding exercises, while Group 2 additionally received neuromobilisation. Functional limitation was measured using the Functional Status Scale and the Symptom Severity Scale of the Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire. Patients had 2 sessions per week for 6 weeks. Clinical data was noted at baseline, after 3 weeks of treatment and finally at the end of the 6-week intervention. Data was analysed using SPSS 21.\nResults: Of the 66 patients, there were 33(50%) in Group 1; 3(9.1%) males, 30(90.9%) females, overall mean age 37.79 \u00b15.91 years. The remaining 33(50%) were in Group 2; 2(6.1%) males, 31(93.9%) females, overall mean age 35.58 \u00b17.15 years. Both the groups showed significant improvement (p &lt;0.05), but the addition of neuromobilisation in Group 2 showed better results compared to Group 1(p&lt;0.05).\nConclusion: The addition of neuromobilisation to routine physical therapy was found to have significantly decreased the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome and improved the functional status of the patients.\nKey Words: Functional status, Carpal tunnel syndrome, Neuromobilisation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.47391\/jpma.2212","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,5]],"date-time":"2022-04-05T16:39:56Z","timestamp":1649176796000},"page":"605-609","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Effect of median nerve neuromobilization on functional status in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome: a double blinded randomized control trial"],"prefix":"10.47391","volume":"72","author":[{"given":"Muhammad Junaid","family":"Ijaz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hossein","family":"Karimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Syed Amir","family":"Gillani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashfaq","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhammad Asad","family":"Chaudhary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"26547","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,5]]},"container-title":["Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/ojs.jpma.org.pk\/index.php\/public_html\/article\/download\/2212\/1285","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,5]],"date-time":"2022-04-05T16:39:57Z","timestamp":1649176797000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/ojs.jpma.org.pk\/index.php\/public_html\/article\/view\/2212"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,5]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.47391\/jpma.2212","relation":{},"ISSN":["0030-9982"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0030-9982","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,5]]}}}
