Objective: The effect of dry needling of tenar muscles on the management of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome.
Inclusion criteria: patients who Phalen and Tinel tests are positive; patients electromyography (EMG) has a median reduction in NCV.
Exclusion criteria: presence of patients with symptoms of CTS; drugs that cause neuropathy; the pregnancy and breastfeeding, history of previous surgeries or injections Astrvyydal to the wrist, elbow and wrist deformity tumor.
The study population and sample size: sample size of the study population to patients referred to physiotherapy centers in Semnan University of Medical Sciences, in March 2016 to March 2017 who were referred by physicians specializing in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome, non-random sampling method was simple up to average about 100 patients.
Interventions of the study and its time and primary outcomes: The electrodiagnostic study includes a review of median nerve NCV (nerve conduction velocity) and distal latency time (distal latency) performed on patients. The Boston Questionnaire (BQ) to be filled by volunteers. As well as the functional operations of the maximum power of pinching and griping assessment and thenar of hypertrophy and Myvfshyal Myofascial trigger point pain (myofascial trigger point pain) are examined. Then the volunteers were randomized to receive treatment groups. In the intervention group DN, DN two sessions with an interval of two days of one another, occurs. To assess the reliability of the effect of treatment, all evaluations are done after two weeks.
