An interventional study of Pain Neuroscience education and standard rehabilitation regime and standard Rehabilitation regime in Wrist Injuries and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, sponsored by Riphah International University. Status unknown at 1 site in Pakistan. Open to female participants aged 20 Years to 50 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-07-19.

The aim of this study is to check the effects of Pain Neuroscience education and standard rehabilitation regime in patients of carpal tunnel syndrome.
In 2017 a stud assessed effectiveness of standard conservative protocol of CTS and nerve mobilization along with and without PNE and documented that standard conservative care seems to be the most appropriate option for pain relief, although neuroscience education might be a complementary option to accelerate recovery of function. More high-quality research is still necessary to determine its effectiveness and the subgroups of patients who may respond better to this treatment.
In 2019 a study was done to assess the effect of PNE and standard rehabilitation exercises on the 41 patients of CTS. The experimenting group was given one session of PNE plus exercises and the control group was given exercise therapy only. Patients were randomly allocated and double blinded. The analysis of study showed better results with experimental group rather than control group.
Many studies have found the effects of standard rehabilitation of Carpal Tunnel syndrome and their results in controlling pain and dysfunction. However as per researchers' knowledge little literature is available on effects of pain neuroscience education and standard rehabilitation regime in carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore, this study6 is going to determine the effects of effectiveness of Pain Neuroscience education and standard rehabilitation regime in patients of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Exclusion Criteria:
Patients will get standard treatment of CTS, which is nerve gliding, stretchings of forearm and wrist muscles and wrist mobilization along with pain neuroscience education.
Other: Pain Neuroscience education and standard rehabilitation regime
Patient will get only nerve gliding and wrist forearm muscle stretching exercises.
Other: standard Rehabilitation regime
Median nerve gliding exercises, wrist and forearm muscle stretches, wrist mobilizations and finger joint mobilizations
Also known as: Standard Rehabilitation regime
standard Rehabilitation regime
Numeric pain rate scale (NPRS)
Patient level of pain will be assessed using this scale. This scale ranges from 0 to 10. 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 indicates "worst pain.
Time frame: 4th week
Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS)
The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) was used to measure catastrophic thinking in response to pain through 13 statements with four possible options, from 1 "not at all" to 4 "all the time".
Time frame: 4th week
Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ)
BCTQmeasures self reported functional status and severity of symptom. The BCTQ-SSS consists of 11 questions, each question provides 5 response choices, from 1 (no symptoms) to 5 (most severe/often).
Time frame: 4th week
Goniometer
The range of motions like flexion extension radial deviation and ulnar deviation of wrist will be measured by Goniometer.
Time frame: 4th week
Plan to share: No
