The purpose of this study was to evaluate pain and function after mirror therapy as well as level of catastrophism in bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome patients
The sample calculation was performed based on the previous pilot study, in which 10 subjects were included. Through this study, a statistically significant effect on the variables analyzed was demonstrated. Therefore, it was determined to duplicate the initial sample to confirm the effect previously studied, assuming losses of 20%. Thus, the value of n for the clinical trial is 20 subjects.
