This randomized clinical trial investigated the effectiveness of surgery compared with physiotherapy consisting of manual therapies including desensitization maneuvers in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The setting was a public hospital and 2 physiotherapy practices in Madrid, Spain. One hundred and twenty women with CTS were enrolled between February 2013 and January 2014 with 1-year follow-up completed in January 2015. Interventions consisted of 3 sessions of manual therapies including desensitization manoeuvres of the central nervous system (physiotherapy group, n=60), or decompression/release of the carpal tunnel (surgical group, n=60).

This is a very interesting study to have had conducted. I would find it amazing to be able to have some kind of way to know whether this was something that actually worked or not? Something that really stood out as well was that you mentioned how desensitization was part of helping those who have carpal tunnel. Hopefully the study will be a success and great information will be able to be derived. Thank you for sharing. http://www.cardinalhillhealthsouth.com
