Dataset on bilateral idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome: Crossover study of two combined physiotherapeutic treatment methods on chirurgical and clinical patients
Year: 2024
Type: data-paper
Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: A randomized controlled crossover experiment with 73 patients diagnosed with idiopathic bilateral Carpal Tunnel Syndrome was presented in this study (CTS). On chirurgical and clinical circumstances, the subjects received two combined physiotherapeutic therapy methods: myofascial mobilization (IASTM) and stretching.The participants were randomly separated into two groups: one began with stretching and then IASTM, whereas the other began with IASTM and then stretching. Following that, 43 individuals received surgery on the hand with the more severe symptoms, and physical therapy rehabilitation began 30 days after surgery for a four-week period. After a one-week break, the treatment modalities for each group were switched while preserving the same previous patterns. Outpatient reassessments were performed every three to six months.The identical approach was used on another group of 30 people who did not have surgery. An initial evaluation was performed prior to the start of therapy. Stretching and IASTM were done twice a week for four weeks, according to recognized guidelines. The outcome measurements were obtained one week later. Similarly, to the preceding pattern, the treatment approaches were then switched for each group. After another interval, a second examination was performed, and outpatient reevaluations were arranged three to six months later.The study includes characteristics that identify the experiment design, profile factors, clinical-electrophysiological diagnostic, objective muscular strength tests, subjective sensitivity tests and clinical indicators, and subjective self-reporting measures for the 73 participants. The variables are divided into six blocks, which are recognized by the prefix BX_ in long format, indicating that information for each variable is in the column, and there is a column to identify information related to any of the five times (B0 PERIOD).The data analysis in this study focuses mostly on documenting the crossover experiment, the sample profile, and the visualization of the outcome variables during the five collecting periods, which are separated by surgical and clinical patients. The raw data has a high potential for reuse, particularly by researchers interested in replicating comparable methods in CTS investigations or comparing the outcomes of clinical and surgical patient samples. These analyses were not carried out in the papers that inspired the creation of this database.
