Comparison of the Efficacy of Ultrasound-Guided Median Nerve Hydrodissection With Dexamethasone and Dextrose at Different Volumes in Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Prospective, Randomized, Double Blind Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ultrasound-guided median nerve hydrodissection for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 88 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of ultrasonography-guided hydrodissection technique with 5% dextrose and dexamethasone injectates when applied in different volumes in the treatment of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Injected wrist will be supinated and slightly dorsiflexed. The transducer of the ultrasound will be placed transversely at the proximal carpal inlet. After sterile preparation, a 22 gauge needle will be inserted using the short-axis technique, in-plane ulnar approach. During hydrodissection, separation of either between the median nerve and flexor retinaculum or between the median nerve and the underlying flexor tendons will be visually confirmed.
