Outcome Comparison of Ultrasound-guided Hydrodissection Between Normal Saline and Combination of Triamcinolone Acetonide, Normal Saline, and Lidocaine in Mild to Moderate Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Single Blinded Randomized Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ultrasound-guided Hydrodissection of the Median Nerve for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 62 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the functional outcome of hydrodissection of the median nerve by normal saline only and a combination of triamcinolone acetonide, lidocaine, and normal saline. The main question it aims to answer are: • What is the outcome comparison of ultrasound-guided hydrodissection between normal saline only and combination of triamcinolone acetonide, normal saline, and lidocaine in mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome? Participants diagnosed with mild or moderate CTS will be randomly assigned to two groups and be hydrodissected under ultrasound guidance. Researchers will compare if normal saline gives similar or better functional outcomes than steroids.

Timeline
Interventions
Hydrodissection for CTS includes injecting fluid around the median nerve (MN) with 5 ml volume, 3 ml of which is given in between the transverse carpal ligament \& MN, and 2 ml below the MN under Ultrasound guidance in-plane ulnar approach.
