Abstract: (11442 Views)
Objective: The purpose of this study was finding the effect of 8-week rehabilitation program on pain reduction and improving nerve conduction in patient exposed with carpal tunnel syndrome.
Methods: 15 person of Bank workers in Ilam city were participated in the study. These people exposed with carpal tunnel syndrome (18 wrist) that divided randomly in two group. The tools involved personal information, Visual Analog Scale (VAS test), and electro diagnostic test. Rehabilitation protocol was informed by experimental group in 8 week. Experimental group performed daily and regularly this program in duration work hours in 6 period (each period last 10 minutes and in total 60 minutes). Control group didn't performed any program in rehabilitation stage .
Results: The result of this study indicated that in post test, pain rate in duration activity (p=0.001) and parastesy(p=0.018) in experimental group was significantly lower than control group. But significant difference didn't been observed between two groups in terms of pain rate (p>0.05). Also about nerve conduction parameters, the result showed that in post test there was significant difference between two groups in terms of sensory and motor nerve conduction velocity, wave peak and distal latency (p<0.05).
Conclusion: According to the results, performing high program has significant effect on pain reduction, hand parastesy and improvement of nerve conduction.
