Filter by:This study compares the effectiveness of peloid therapy and paraffin treatment in carpal tunnel syndrome. Patients receive either 2 weeks of peloid therapy or 15 sessions of paraffin treatment, along with splint therapy for 3 months. Pain and symptom severity are assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTQ). Results are measured at baseline, 4 weeks post-treatment, and a 12-week follow-up.
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.
This project is linked to the line of research on carpal tunnel syndrome, of the PhysiUZerapy research group, belonging to the University of Zaragoza. Within this line, the biomechanical and physiological effect of the proposed technique has been investigated, both in healthy subjects, in cadavers and in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), resulting in the reading of 2 doctoral theses, the publication of 9 articles in high-impact journals. and the patent for a splint for the treatment of pathology. This project aims to provide information that is still lacking on the immediate effect of these techniques in patients with CTS. For this, there will be three groups of patients from the Lozano Blesa University Clinical Hospital distributed randomly. In two of the groups, sliding and neural tension techniques will be carried out (case group). The remaining group (control group) will be taken as a reference by performing a placebo treatment. Before and after carrying out these techniques, electrophysiological data will be collected to be able to compare them. This comparison is based on highlighting the differences between the data before the techniques and after, as well as between the case group and the control group.
The goal of this clinical trial is to analyze the immediate effect of manual mobilization techniques of the carpal bones on the median nerve, in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. The main question it aims to answer is whether there is an immediate positive effect on the electrophysiological variables of the median nerve in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome after performing this technique. Participants will undergo a carpal bone mobilization technique. There will be a comparison group that will not undergo the technique. The researchers will compare the control and intervention groups to see if the technique has an immediate positive effect.
The current retrospective study aimed to compare the effectiveness of local steroid injection plus splinting with that of local steroid injection or splinting alone. To assess the primary outcome, The Boston Carpal Tunnel Symptom Severity Scale was used. The secondary aim was the efficacy of the treatment on the patient's function severity and depression assessed by The Boston Carpal Tunnel Symptom Function Scale Edinburgh Depression Scale.
"In burn cases, the reported causes of CTS are increased volume of carpal tunnel content due to edema and synovitis, wrist hyperextension, tight dressing, fibrosis, and direct burn to the nerve. There are two types of pain that occur in the palm of the hand after carpal tunnel surgery: incisional pain and pillar pain. The incision pain typically only lasts for a few days or weeks after surgery, while the pillar pain occurs on the sides of the incision in the thicker parts of the palm, called the thenar and hypothenar eminences. This is where the transverse ligament attaches to the carpal bones, forming the carpal tunnel. So, in this study we will find out if shock wave therapy has therapeutic effect on pillar pain after carpal tunnel release in hand burn.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of Ultrasound-Guided Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection versus Hydrodissection (using 2ml saline, 2ml dexamethasone and 1ml lidocaine) in the Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Which modality is more effective in reducing symptoms and improving function in patients with Carpal tunnel syndrome - Asses safety profile of both methods Participants will: - Randomized to one of the two arms - Visit the clinic 1 and 3 months after intervention - Assessed for efficacy and safety of the intervention
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the frequency of ATTR amyloid, cardiac involvement and associated features, in 150 patients aged 50 or more years, and operated for an idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome, lumbar spine stenosis or total hip or knee arthroplasty for primary osteoarthritis. The main questions to be answered are: 1. What is the frequency of ATTR deposits in samples retrieved during surgery? 2. What is the frequency of cardiac involvement in ATTR positive patients? 3. What are the preoperative predictors of ATTR deposits? Participants will - have operative samples stained by Congo red in search of amyloid, which will be typed by immunochemistry in positive samples, - undergo a multimodal imaging search for cardiac involvement, if ATTR is identified, - undergo a preoperative complete clinical examination, including collection of medical history, ECG, biochemical tests, and imaging (ultrasound scans of rotator cuff and hip capsule in all participating patients, of the carpal tunnel in patients operated at this site, and MRI + standing profile radiography of the lumbar spine, in patients operated for lumbar stenosis) - ATTR positive patients will be proposed to be followed-up by a reference center, with the aim of an early diagnosis of cardiac involvement, allowing efficient mamagement. Researchers will assess the frequency of ATTR deposits at each operated site, the frequency or ATTR cardiopathy in ATTR + patients, and will compare demographic, clinical, biochemical, and imaging features in patients with and without ATTR deposits, to guide the indications of pathological examination during these frequent orthopedic surgeries
The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided betamethasone and 5% dextrose injection, which is routinely applied in clinical practice, in patients with mild and moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
Dry needling is used for myofascial release. However, its effectiveness in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is not well known. It is thought that dry needling may also be an effective treatment for CTS by providing relaxation in the fascial tissue. Therefore, this study will examine the effects of dry needling treatment on pain, function, range of motion, proprioception and disability in patients with CTS.
