Summary

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common peripheral nerve entrapment neuropathies, and it is characterized by pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the regions innervated by the median nerve (MN). CTS is believed to result from compression of the MN as it passes through the narrowed carpal tunnel with regard to gradual ischemia and fibrosis.Ultrasound-guided needle release of transverse carpal ligament(TCL) is an effective method to decompress the carpal.There are two main approaches to perform the release, short-axis or long-axis. However, there is no consensus about the optimal strategy.Thus, this study aimed to compare the efficacy of these two approaches for patients with mild-to-moderate CTS.
