Comparison of Two Techniques for the Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Randomized Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Z-plasty and Conventional for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 120 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The main objective of this study is to compare the complete section of the transverse carpal ligament with another median nerve release technique and to determine if the incidence of post-surgical pillar pain is lower for either of the two surgical techniques. As secondary objectives, we also seek to determine if the postsurgical grip and pincer strength and the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) score are better for either of the two surgical techniques.
