The Effect of Tendon-Nerve Mobilization on Pain Relief in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome at Indriati Hospital

Introduction: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a neuropathy caused by median nerve compression that often causes pain and impaired hand function. This study aims to determine the effect of tendon nerve mobilization intervention on pain reduction in CTS patients at Indriati Hospital. Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach without control group. A total of 28 participants with mild to moderate CTS symptoms participated in the intervention program for 3 weeks (3 times a week). Pain was assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), data analysis in this study used paired sample t-test. Results: The findings showed a significant decrease in pain scores from an average of 6.5 (pre-test) to 3.4 (post-test) with a significance value of p = 0.018. Conclusion: These findings indicate that tendon nerve mobilization is effective in reducing pain in CTS patients. This exercise is also easy to perform and has the potential to be a safe and efficient conservative intervention. Further research with a control group and a larger sample size is needed to strengthen the scientific evidence.
