Abstract: Neural Stretching Exercises, Pain Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of neural stretching exercises giving to the decrease of pain in patients with CTS in workers convection. This study is a quasi-experimental studies that used pre-test post test design with control group. The study subjects were workers who suffer from convection carpal tunnel syndrome that met inclusion and exclusion criteria. Convection of the number of workers who suffer from CTS were randomized into 2 groups: group I given neural stretching exercises, group II used as a control. Statistical analysis using t-test. The results showed that neural stretching exercises can reduce pain (p <0.05).

Abstrak: Latihan Neural Stretching, Nyeri Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian latihan neural stretching terhadap penurunan nyeri pada penderita CTS pada pekerja konveksi. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian yang digunakan eksperimen semu pre test-post test with control group design. Subyek penelitian adalah pekerja konveksi yang menderita carpal tunnel syndrome yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Dari jumlah pekerja konveksi yang menderita CTS dirandomisasi menjadi 2 kelompok yaitu kelompok I diberikan latihan neural stretching, kelompok II dijadikan kontrol. Analisis statistik menggunakan t-test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa latihan neural stretching dapat mengurangi nyeri (p < 0.05).
