Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Non-surgical non-invasive Median Nerve neural mobilization procedure was applied by a physical therapist continuously during 2 minutes in 5 different occasions with 1 minute of rest between each 2 minute application of the Neural Mobilization technique. The intervention was applied during a period of 6 weeks. The maximum level of elbow extension movement degree without the reproduction of symptoms during the application of the Median Nerve Neural mobilization treatment was determined through the baseline use of a Universal Goniometer Device.
The active comparator group received an oral Ibuprofen treatment. The starting dose was of 400 mg/day and it was increased to a maximum of 1200 mg/day divided in 3 oral intakes every 8 hours depending on patient tolerance.The intervention was applied during a period of 6 weeks.
