An interventional study of Physical Therapy and Physical Therapy plus Neurodynamic in Multiple Sclerosis, sponsored by Universidad Rey Juan Carlos. Completed at 1 site in Spain. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-10-22.
Sponsored by Universidad Rey Juan Carlos · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
A randomized, parallel-group, clinical trial will be conducted to compare the immediate effects of the inclusion of a neurodynamic intervention into a multimodal physiotherapy program on pressure pain sensitivity, pain and manual dexterity in patients with multiple sclerosis

Exclusion Criteria:
Patients will receive 5 session of multimodal physiotherapy treatment of 30min duration including low-load strength exercises, soft tissue mobilization and muscle-tendon stretching exercises twice per week.
Other: Physical Therapy
Patients will receive 5 session of multimodal physiotherapy treatment of 30min duration including low-load strength exercises, soft tissue mobilization and muscle-tendon stretching exercises twice per week. In addition, they will also receive bilateral nerve slider neurodynamic interventions targeting the median, ulnar and radial nerves.

Changes in pressure pain sensitivity
Pressure pain threshold over the median, ulnar and radial nerves, second metacarpal and tibialis anterior
Time frame: Baseline and one week after the last treatment session
Changes in upper extremity pain intensity before and after the intervention
A Numerical Pain Rate Scale (NPRS, 0-10) will be used to record the mean and the worst intensity of pain in te upper extremity
Time frame: Baseline and one week after the last treatment session
Changes in light touch detection threshold
Light touch detection threshold will be assessed with a standardized set of modified twenty von Frey hairs
Time frame: Baseline and after treatmentBaseline and one week after the last treatment session
Changes in manual dexterity
Bilateral manual dexterity was bilaterally assessed using the nine-hole peg test
Time frame: Baseline and one week after the last treatment session
