Objective: the main objective of this review is to verify the effectiveness of neuromobilization techniques in subjects with carpal tunnel syndrome; starting from the guidelines drawn up by the "Journal of Orthopedics and Sport Physical Therapy" in 2019, and investigating literature in search of new publications related to the topic, in order to conduct an update of the guidelines themselves. Materials and Methods: The study consists of a literature review. After consulting PubMed, Cochrane Library, PeDro, scientific articles published from 01/11/2018 to 30/06/2023 were selected. The studies included are five and each of them verifies the effectiveness of the techniques of neural mobilizations in subjects with mild-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Results: all articles under review use validated assessment scales for CTS assessment. What emerges from the analysis of the articles following the use of neuromobilization techniques is: an average decrease in pain of 71.8% in the VAS or NPRS scale; a decrease in symptoms of 59.7% in the SSS subscale of BCTQ; a reduction of 60,8% in functional impairment in BCTQ FSS subscale; 20.2% improvement in distal motor latency; negligible improvements in ROM and muscle strength. Discussion: neurodynamic techniques have been shown to be useful in improving function, reducing symptoms and pain in subjects with mild to moderate CTS, regardless of the treatment. The results obtained in this review are similar to those of the JOSPT 2019 guidelines. Conclusions: Achieving very similar results with the guidelines, this review confirms the validity of manual therapy, and even more of the techniques of neurodynamics in the management of patients affected by mild-moderate CTS.
Obiettivo: l’obiettivo principale di questa revisione è verificare l’efficacia delle tecniche di neuromobilizzazione nei soggetti affetti da sindrome del tunnel carpale; partendo dalle linee guida stilate dal “Journal of Orthopedics and Sport Physical Therapy” nel 2019, e indagando la letteratura alla ricerca di nuove pubblicazioni inerenti l’argomento, al fine di condurre un update delle linee guida stesse. Materiali e Metodi: lo studio consiste in una revisione della letteratura. Dopo aver consultato le banche dati PubMed, Cochrane Library, PEDro, sono stati selezionati articoli scientifici pubblicati dal 01/11/2018 al 30/06/2023. Gli studi inclusi sono cinque ed ognuno di essi verifica l’efficacia delle tecniche di neurodinamica in soggetti affetti da sindrome del tunnel carpale di grado lieve-moderato. Risultati: tutti gli articoli presi in esame utilizzano scale di valutazione validate per la valutazione della CTS. Ciò che emerge dall’analisi degli articoli a seguito dell’utilizzo delle tecniche di neuromobilizzazione è: una diminuzione media del dolore del 71,8% nella scala VAS o NPRS; una diminuzione dei sintomi del 59,7% nella sottoscala SSS della BCTQ; una riduzione del 60,8% nella compromissione funzionale nella sottoscala FSS della BCTQ; un miglioramento della latenza motoria distale del 20,2%; miglioramenti trascurabili nel ROM e nella forza muscolare. Discussione: le tecniche di neurodinamica si sono rivelate utili nel miglioramento della funzionalità, nella riduzione dei sintomi e del dolore in soggetti affetti da CTS di grado lieve-moderato, indipendentemente dal trattamento coadiuvato a tali tecniche. I risultati ottenuti in questa revisione sono sovrapponibili a quelli delle linee guida JOSPT 2019. Conclusioni: Ottenendo risultati molto sovrapponibili con le linee guida, la presente revisione riconferma l’utilità di applicare le tecniche di neurodinamica nella gestione del paziente affetto da CTS di grado lieve-moderato.
