• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A

Summary

the current study will try to answer the question: Is it theoretically possible, that increased longitudinal stress on nerve root from sliding or tensioning intervention may subtly affect the neural function? Our hypothesis is that tensioning and sliding, differently affect the neural function.

Detailed description

A prospective, parallel randomized, controlled study will be conducted at a research laboratory of our University. Participant recruitment will begin following approval from the Ethics Committee .The patients will participate in the study after signing an informed consent form prior to data collection. Per inclusion criteria, subjects will be between 18 and 50 years of age, not currently experiencing any neck or dominant upper extremity symptoms, do not have a history significant for a chronic painful condition, and will not using pain relievers. Prior to participating in any study-related procedures, participants will read and signed an informed consent form approved by the Institutional Review Board. Participants will be divided into three groups; One group will receive neural gliding mobilization and the other neural tensioning mobilization, both targeting the median nerve. . the third group will receive sham neural mobilization intervention . Participants were not given information on which neural mobilization technique they were receiving; they were only told that they could receive one of two different neural mobilization techniques. Six sessions will be given every other day for 2 weeks.

Conditions

• Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	neural mobilization	Neural mobilization, or neurodynamics, is a movement-based intervention aimed at restoring the homeostasis in and around the nervous system.
OTHER	Sham intervention	it is faked neural mobilization that mimic the neural mobilization treatment but believed not to stress the neural tissues in the upper extremity.
