Summary

The aim of this study, using two different injection techniques,

1. To evaluate the patients in terms of the pain they feel during the application of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) injection,
2. Evaluation in terms of undesirable effects developing after injection,
3. To evaluate the degree of pain/drowsiness, symptom severity and functionality, and median nerve diameter at the end of the first month after the injection, and to evaluate the relationship of these parameters with the pain felt by the patients during the injection.

Technique of injection method

In 'out of plane group', the ultrasound probe will be placed at the entrance level of the proximal carpal tunnel (scaphoid-pisiform plane), the ulnar edge of the median nerve will be taken to the midpoint of the probe, and then the needle will be inserted from the middle point of the probe with the out of plane method. Then the needle will be advanced towards the ulnar side of the median nerve and the injection content will be given into the tunnel. In 'in plane group group', the ultrasound probe will be placed at the proximal carpal tunnel entrance level (scaphoid-pisiform plane), it will be entered at a cross angle between the ulnar artery and the median nerve with the in-plane method, and be advanced under the median nerve, and then the injection content will be given into the carpal tunnel.
