Randomized Controlled TrialA randomized sham-controlled trial of a neurodynamic technique in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Randomized, controlled trial. ⋯ The sham intervention was successful in blinding the participants. Immediate changes in pain sensitivity and intensity and 3-week changes in clinical pain intensity and upper extremity disability associated with NDT were equivalent to a sham intervention to which the participants were adequately blinded. Conversely, reduction of temporal summation was only observed in participants receiving the NDT, suggesting the potential of a favorable neurophysiological effect.
