Summary

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral entrapment neuropathy with involving compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. Although many conservative managements of CTS, the effectiveness of these methods is insignificant or only persist for a short duration. The technique of nerve hydrodissection is now commonly used for peeling the nerve from surrounding soft tissue, which may help allow the impulse to pass, and rescue the nerve with ischemic damage. However, the exact effect and interval of hydrodissection are unknown because of the lack of well-designed studies Hence, investigators design a randomized, double- blind, controlled trail to assess the therapeutic effect of ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection in patients with CTS.

Conditions

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection

Ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection with 10cc normal saline between carpal tunnel and median nerve.

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection

Ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection with 5cc normal saline between carpal tunnel and median nerve.

DEVICE

Ultrasound

The ultrasound was used to measure cross-sectional area and injection guidance

DRUG

Normal saline

The normal saline was used for injection solution
