    Evidencia de la efectividad del deslizamiento del nervio mediano en el tratamiento del síndrome del túnel carpiano : Una revisión sistemática
    (2013-05) Meneses Echávez, José Francisco; Morales Osorio, Marco Antonio
    Objective: To determine the effectiveness of the median nerve glide for treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. Search methods: A systematic review of the CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PEDro data bases was conducted. The search included randomized, controlled trials with adult patients diagnosed of carpal tunnel syndrome. Studies published from January 2000 to February 2012 were included.Results of the search: Thirteen articles were located and reviewed. Finally, 6 studies that met the inclusion criteria of this study were analyzed. The neural glide techniques, conservative treatments (ultrasound, paraffin, tendon glide) and splinting were compared. Conclusions: There is moderate evidence supporting the use of median nerve glide techniques for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome.

    Pain and physical modalities : A new paradigm in physiotherapy
    (2014-10) Morales Osorio, Marco Antonio; Torrado Navarro, Crisanto
    Physical modalities are all the tools that the therapist has to intervene with curative intent; however, the increase of scientific publications has led to a need to know the effectiveness of these modalities for the treatment of pain. The purpose of this review was to provide the reader updated, referenced and evidenced on pain knowledge and clinical application of physical modalities for treatment. A search for the best available evidence was conducted to try to answer the research question, which is based on the paradigm that entails the application of physical modalities most used (Cryotherapy and Thermotherapy, Therapeutic Ultrasound, Laser therapy and electrotherapy). So far the number of clinical trials and systematic reviews to support the use of physical modalities for pain management is very limited, plus the low methodological quality of the available trials. Many of the underpinnings of the use of physical modalities are accompanied by diffuse physiological basis and scientific support demonstrations in vitro but not in vivo. To this is added a limited amount of information about the parameters that apply to pain management so it is not possible to draw conclusions on the recommendation of the clinical application of all physical modalities tested for pain management.
