Ultrasound-Guided Injection vs Intramuscular Steroid for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

NCT06725420 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 63

Last updated 2026-03-19

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common and disability-causing entrapment neuropathy; however, a standardized protocol for first-line management has yet to be established. Different treatment approaches have their own positive and negative aspects.

The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided local steroid injection and intramuscular steroid injection in mild-to-moderate CTS. Patients will be assessed for pain levels, functional/symptom status, hand-finger strength, side effects, patient satisfaction, median nerve ultrasonographic measurements, and EMG before and after treatment .
