Abstract
Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common neuropathy affecting the upper limb. Several therapeutic approaches are used to treat this syndrome, including conservative treatment, often used as the first line treatment. We here report the case of a 61-year-old female patient, presenting to the Department of Clinical Neurophysiology of the Specialty Hospital, Rabat, with moderate and bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome with sensory loss confirmed by electroneuromyography (ENMG). Manual therapy, including bilateral median nerve neurodynamic mobilization, was performed. Patient´s outcome was marked by disappearance of nocturnal numbness and follow up ENMG showed a marked improvement in nerve conduction parameters. Based on this positive result, neurodynamic mobilization of the median nerve may be considered as a possible approach for the conservative treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome.
