OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of nerve and tendon gliding exercises in @entity923 . DESIGN: The study was a prospective, randomized, before-and-after treatment trial. A total of 28 @entity1 with the diagnosis of @entity923 in 36 hands were randomly assigned to two groups. A custom made neutral volar wrist splint was given to group 1 and group 2. The @entity1 were instructed to wear the splints all night and during the day as much as possible for 4 wk. The @entity1 in group 2 were also instructed to perform series of nerve and tendon gliding exercises in addition to the splint treatment. @entity1 were evaluated with clinical parameters, a functional status scale, and a symptom severity scale. RESULTS: At the end of treatment, statistically significant improvement was obtained in all parameters in both groups. The improvement in group 2 was slightly greater, but the difference between the groups was not significant, except for the lateral pinch strength value. @entity1 satisfaction was investigated during the follow-up period, ranging from 5 to 11 mo, with a mean of 8 mo. A total of 72% of the @entity1 in group 1 and 93% of the @entity1 in group 2 reported good or excellent results. The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Although the results in group 2 were better than group 1, the difference was not statistically significant. Further investigations are required to establish the role of nerve and tendon gliding exercises in the treatment of @entity923 .
