The Long-term Effect of Perineural Injection Therapy Versus Steroid in Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating 5% dextrose and 1cc 2% Xylocaine+4cc Triamcinolone (40mg) for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 54 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral entrapment neuropathy with involving compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. Rather than other progressive disease, CTS is characterized by remission and recurrence. Although many conservative managements of CTS, the effectiveness of these methods is insignificant or only persist for a short duration including steroid injection. Recently, the ultrasound-guided perineural injection with 5% dextrose was widely used for entrapment neuropathy with positive benefit. The investigators design a randomized, double-blind, controlled trail to assess the effect of ultrasound-guided perineural injection with 5% dextrose in patients with CTS and compared with steroid injection.
