J Hand Ther. Oct-Dec 2021;34(4):521-530. Hamzeh H, Madi M, Alghwiri AA, Hawamdeh Z.

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common disorder that limits function and quality of life. Little evidence is available on the long-term effect of neurodynamics and exercise therapy.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the long-term effect of neurodynamic techniques vs exercise therapy in managing patients with CTS.

Conclusions: Although both treatments led to positive outcomes, neurodynamics therapy was superior in improving function and strength and in decreasing pain.
