Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of the treatment with very low frequency magnetic fields (ELF) on the reduction of pain and the relief of the associated signs such as sensitivity disorders that affect the first three fingers and half of the fourth finger of the hand in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome versus the supplement (= Xinepa).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

ELF and Xinepa®

The very low frequency magnetic fields (ELF) are magnetic fields already use for orthopedics pathology that have shown to be able to repair, to reduce pain, inflammation and edema in the damaged tissues. Xinepa® is a dietary supplement containing alpha-lipoic acid, N-acetyl-L-carnitine, turmeric, vitamins B, E and C. They have an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action on nervous system and they act on cellular energy metabolism.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

ELF

Intervention Type OTHER

Very low frequency magnetic fields (ELF) at intensity of 100 mT and a frequency of 1-80 Hz. Protocol (antiedema-antinflammatory): 12 sessions, 3 times a week for 4 consecutive weeks, each session lasted 30 minutes.

Xinepa®

Intervention Type OTHER

2 tablets of Xinepa daily (morning and evening) for 1 month.

ELF and Placebo Xinepa®

The very low frequency magnetic fields (ELF) are magnetic fields already use for orthopedics pathology that have shown to be able to repair, to reduce pain, inflammation and edema in the damaged tissues. Xinepa® without its specific activity for the condition being treated.
