Upon approval of the synopsis, ethical clearance would be taken and necessary permissions from Ejaz Hospital Lahore. Through convenience sampling technique, 48 patients will be included which will be allocated using simple random sampling through sealed opaque enveloped into Group A and Group B. Mobilisation technique includes moving the proximal row of carpal bones either dorsally to promote wrist extension or to the palmar side to promote wrist flexion. Group A will be treated with Grade 3 Kaltenborn mobilisation. Grade 3 distraction was chosen to avoid contact between the articular surfaces and to stimulate hypoalgesic factors and Group B will be treated with Mulligan mobilisation. Outcome measures will be conducted through pain, disability and hand function questionnaire after 6 weeks. Data will be analyzed during SPSS software version 25. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '45 Years', 'minimumAge': '20 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Both genders between 20 and 45 years of age\n* Individuals having localized pain, tingling and numbness in the median nerve distribution\n* Positive Tinel sign and positive Phalen's test\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Any sensory and/or motor deficit in either the ulnar or radial nerve traumatic neck injury\n* Previous hand surgery or trauma or cervical radiculopathy\n* Systemic disease e.g. diabetes mellitus or thyroid disease or rheumatoid arthritis"}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT06687018', 'briefTitle': 'Effects of Kaltenborn and Mulligan Mobilisation in Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Riphah International University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Comparative Effects of Kaltenborn Versus Mulligan Mobilisation on Pain, Disability and Hand Function in Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'REC/RCR & AHS/24/0129'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Kaltenborn mobilisation', 'description': 'Kaltenborn mobilisation along with conventional treatment.', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Kaltenborn mobilisation']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Mulligan mobilisation', 'description': 'Mulligan mobilisation along with conventional treatment.', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Mulligan mobilisation']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Kaltenborn mobilisation', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'Kaltenborn mobilisation Grade 3 along with common treatment for 3 minutes, repeated 3 sets with rest of 1 minutes, three sessions per week for four weeks.
