Abstract

Introduction: neural mobilization is a technique that aims to restore the function of the nervous system, yet there still lack of knowledge about the most appropriate place. Objectives: to evaluate the effects of neural mobilization in the treatment of sciatic nerve compression Wistar rats, and compare the different application sites. Methods: 24 Wistar rats were right sciatic nerve compression, and separated into four groups: injury (GL), neural mobilization in the injured (GPD), neural mobilization in the contralateral limb (GPE) and neural mobilization in the ipsilateral limb injury (GEP). Functional assessments were performed at paw elevation time (TEP) and digital Von Frey dolorimeter after the last evaluation, the sciatic nerve was sectioned for histological analysis. Results: there was a difference between the GL (23.54) and GPE (23.98) in the evaluation of the TEP (p=0.028), in nociceptive and histological evaluation no significant differences (p>0.05). Conclusion: the neural mobilization held in the contralateral limb was harmful, while treating the affected and ipsilateral limb showed no significant difference.
