Abstract

Introduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition among dentists due to awkward hand positions, repetitive hand movements, mechanical pressure on the palms, strong grips, and vibration of tools involved in their work. Non-surgical therapy is recommended for mild to moderate levels of CTS, while surgical treatment may be considered for severe cases. Aim: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of various non-surgical therapy for CTS. Method: The literature search used Boolean language in PCC format on PubMed and Google Scholar databases. The literature search was according to PRISMA-ScR flow chart guidelines and 6,641 articles were obtained. 16 articles met the inclusion criteria, consisting of: splinting (n=2), local steroid injection (n=2), median nerve neuromobilisation (n=2), and journals that tested and compared a combination of non-surgical therapies or more than one non-surgical therapy (n=10). Result: This review shows that non-surgical therapies are effective for CTS patients. Conclusion: Various non-surgical treatment for CTS is effective in reducing pain and improving hand functional ability. These therapies can be an optional therapy for dentists with high CTS risk factors.

Abstract

Background: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a major problem for dentists due to high visual demands that result in postural adaptations. One of the treatment options is exercise therapy, which consists of physical activity that aims to relieve pain. Objectives: This scoping review discusses exercise therapy methods and outcomes in patients with chronic low back pain. Methods: This scoping review is guided by PRISMA-ScR. The literature search method used PCC and article searches using PubMed and Google Scholar, which obtained 10,773 journals. 19 journals were selected according to the inclusion criteria, including: stretching exercises in the form of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (n=3), pilates (n=3), core stabilisation exercises (n=4), aerobic exercise (n=1), yoga (n=2), and journals that compared more than one exercise therapy (n=6). Results: The results of this scoping review show that exercise therapy is effective for CLBP patients to reduce pain. It can also improve functional ability, quality of life, muscle strength, muscle endurance, range of motion, balance, flexibility, and spinal stability. Conclusion: Exercise therapy can be the main option for the treatment of CLBP patients.
