Telerehabilitation in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

A multimodal telerehabilitation intervention will be conducted through Whatsapp video calls. The combined treatment includes: 1) One 30-minute session of education in neurosciences of pain, using audiovisual material with examples and metaphors to improve the patient's understanding. In addition, two sessions of reinforcement of key contents will be held every 15 days; 2) Therapeutic exercise program: active wrist and finger exercises, stretching, mobilization exercises of the median nerve, and aerobic exercise (brisk walking). Each exercise will be dosed on a personalized basis, with a perceived exertion of 4-5 on the Borg scale. Therapeutic exercise will be self-administered, 3 sessions per week for 6 weeks. Telerehabilitation sessions will be performed every 15 days to monitor adherence and adjust the exercise dose.
