Técnica de neurodinamia en el nervio mediano versus tratamiento fisioterapéutico convencional en el síndrome del Túnel del Carpo en una Cooperativa de Ahorro y Crédito Cuenca 2015

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the neurodinamia’s technique in the median nerve versus conventional physiotherapy for reducing the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Methodology: A quasi-experimental pre-post study made in a “Cooperativa de Ahorro y Credito” in Cuenca’s city in about 42 people who were diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome of the administrative area, aged between 25 and 40 years. The first group A or experimental, who was applied to the neurodinamia’s technique in the median nerve; and the second group B or control, who received conventional physical therapy. The dates were tabulated and analyzed using the SPSS v 19; expressed in tables and graphs. Results: Among the study groups there are not significant differences by age and gender as seen as equal found (p => 0.05). The results show that treatment with neurodinamia in the median nerve is better than conventional physiotherapy based on pain reduction (p = 0.000 A group with E-31, group B p = 0.000 with E-26), dysesthesia (group A p = 0.000 with E-18, group B p = 0.063) and paresthesia (group A with p = 0.000 E-25; group B p = 0.000); however, they are equally effective in paresis terms (group A p = 0.000; p = 0.000 Group B). Conclusion: The hypothesis is tested, which states that the neurodinamia’s technique in the median nerve compared to conventional physiotherapy is more effective in reducing the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome; supporting news similar studies of neurodinamia theory
