Summary

Pain reduction effects of the median nerve neural mobilization technique (a physiotherapy treatment) will be compared to those produced by a pharmaceutical treatment and the absence of treatment, in subjects who suffer carpal tunnel syndrome.

Detailed description

The present randomized clinical trial will perform a comparison of the pain reduction effects produced by the application of median nerve neural mobilization (non invasive and non pharmaceutical physiotherapy treatment), to the pain reduction effect produced by an oral ibuprofen treatment or the lack of treatment (waiting list control group) in subjects diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. Additionally, effects over the functionality of the affected upper limb will be evaluated and compared. Subjects will be invited to participate and randomly allocated to 3 different groups.
