The goal of this clinical trial is to analyze the immediate effect of manual mobilization techniques of the carpal bones on the median nerve, in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. The main question it aims to answer is whether there is an immediate positive effect on the electrophysiological variables of the median nerve in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome after performing this technique.
Participants will undergo a carpal bone mobilization technique. There will be a comparison group that will not undergo the technique. The researchers will compare the control and intervention groups to see if the technique has an immediate positive effect.

| Manual mobilization of the carpal bones. | Other | The mobilization of the carpal bones will be done in the following way: patient in supine position, with elbow flexion of approximately 90º, so that the forearm and wrist are almost vertical. The examiner positions the thumb on the dorsal aspect of the scaphoid and trapezius, and the index finger on the dorsal aspect of the piriformis and hamate. Next, a manual ventral force is applied until the resistance of the wrist tissues is felt for 30 seconds. The technique will be repeated 5 times, with a 10-second rest between each application. |
