Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common medical condition and one of
the most frequently reported forms of median nerve compression. CTS occurs when
the median nerve is squeezed or compressed as it travels through the wrist. The
syndrome is characterized by hand pain, numbness, and tingling in the
distribution of the median nerve. Risk factors for CTS include obesity,
repetitive wrist activity, pregnancy, genetic predisposition, and rheumatoid
inflammation.
Aim: This study aims to review relevant literature and synthesize knowledge
regarding the effectiveness of manual therapy in treating carpal tunnel
syndrome among computer professionals.
Search Method: The databases used for searching articles included Pub Med, Research
Gate, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Cochrane. A total of 80 articles from
the past 10 years were collected.
Selection
Criteria: Selection criteria
included studies on patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, focusing on the
effectiveness of manual therapy in terms of pain relief, improvement in range
of motion, and visual analog scale measurements.
Results: Four studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the
review. The methods used in these studies primarily involved neurodynamics.
