Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to review manual therapies for mononeuropathies of upper limb through domestic and foreign studies designed for human body. Methods We searched databases (KMbase, OASIS, RISS, NDSL, KISS, KoreaMed, MEDLINE/Pubmed, CENTRAL, EMBASE) on the 1st to 31th of July 2017 to find related literatures that published after 2000. Results Twenty-eight studies were finally included. Of these, 13 articles were published after 2010. Twenty-two studies were clinical trials and 6 were observational studies. Carpal tunnel syndrome were the most researched type of diseases (85.7%). Most frequently used method of manual therapies was neurodynamic mobilization (35.7%). Pain scales and questionnaires were generally employed for evaluation. Significantly effective studies were 72.2% in controlled trials and 90% in the studies without control group. Conclusions In this study, we reviewed literatures concerning manual therapies on mononeuropathies of upper limb. Further studies are needed on the various diseases of mononeuropathies of upper limb to retain the evidence for the effectiveness of manual therapies.
