Implication

Randomized trial evaluates gliding and resistance exercises for median nerve outcomes in carpal tunnel syndrome, suggesting alternative symptom relief mechanisms.

Key Points

This trial aims to evaluate the effects of gliding and resistance exercises on median nerve and tendon elasticity in carpal tunnel syndrome.
Randomised three-arm parallel-group trial with 102 patients aged 20–80 years
Participants assigned to Gliding Exercise, Resistance Exercise, or Control groups with 3-week home-based interventions
Shear wave velocity and median nerve cross-sectional area were measured at baseline and follow-up.
Ninety-one participants completed the assessment with no significant changes in primary or secondary outcomes
Self-reported symptom improvements were noted in the gliding exercise group compared to controls
Findings suggest short-term exercise interventions do not influence tissue stiffness.
