Filter by:"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 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).
The goal of this observational study is to test the new kind of ultrasound-based measurements in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do the measurements of the size of the median nerve at the point where it is maximally compressed accurately diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome? - May these measurements accurately tell how severe is the carpal tunnel syndrome? Participants will be asked to: - Undergo conduction studies of median and ulnar nerve. - Undergo ultrasound of the median nerve. - Fill out the Boston carpal tunnel questionnaire and a demographic questionnaire. Researchers will compare the group of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome with healthy volunteers to see if respective measurements differ significantly between groups.
The aim in this prospective, randomized and controlled, single-blind study; In the conservative treatment of patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, to investigate the effects of neurodynamic exercises that applied with nonimmersive virtual reality technology and patient education program presented by the telerehabilitation method on pain-numbness, functional status and quality of life, to compare the effects of neurodynamic exercises that applied with traditional methods and standard education given to patients in outpatient clinic conditions on the same parameters.
Multicenter prospective single-arm trial of subjects with symptomatic Carpal Tunnel Syndrome treated with Ultrasound Guided Carpal Tunnel Release (CTR-US) in an office-based setting.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency current in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome.
It is aimed to compare the effects of different conservative methods on the clinical condition of the patients, hand grip and pinch strengths and wrist muscle strengths in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to investigate efficacy of phonophoresis with vitamin B12 on median nerve distal latency, pain level and hand grip strength in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. At least Fifty four Patients from both sexes will be recruited for this study from various hospitals in 6th October city - Group A (n = 27): will receive Phonophoresis with Vitamin B12 gel. - Group B (n = 27): will receive placebo phonophoresis with Vitamin B12 gel. Median nerve distal latency, hand grip strength and numerical pain rating scale will be measured at baseline and after 3 weeks.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral entrapment neuropathy and affects 3-6% of adults in the United States. In patients with severe or refractory symptoms, carpal tunnel release (CTR) represents the definitive management option, and over 550,000 CTRs are performed annually in the United States with over 90% of patients reporting clinical improvement. Currently available CTR techniques include mini-open CTR via a single, 1-3 cm palmar incision (mOCTR), endoscopic CTR via one (wrist) or two (wrist and palm) 1-2 cm incisions (ECTR), and ultrasound guided CTR via a single < 1 cm wrist or palmar incision (USCTR). The primary objective is to assess the impact of USCTR vs mOCTR in a military population. This study is a multi-site prospective randomized comparative trial. Participants with CTS will be randomized to a study arm and receive treatment with ultrasound guided carpal tunnel release (USCTR) vs. traditional mini-open carpal tunnel release (mOCTR). All patients will be followed for a period of 24 months with respect to standard clinical data, military relevant data, and validated patient related outcome measures (PROMs). Data will be collected at 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 1 month, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months, and 24 months post-CTR procedure. Investigators hypothesize that USCTR using the SX-One MicroKnife®, also known as UltraGuideCTR, will safely and more-effectively improve symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome compared to traditional mOCTR, with less loss of military duty days.
The general aim of this research is to gain insight in the role of SSCT in the etiology and progression of CTS. We hypothesize that (degenerative) damage of the SSCT occurs early on in the pathogenesis of CTS. Fibrotic damage to the SSCT will lead to altered morphology and biomechanical characteristics. This eventually may lead to damage of the median nerve. To examine the SSCT an ultrasound technique described by Van Doesburg et al. 2012 will be used First, the reliability of the US technique to characterize morphology of the SSCT will be investigated. Secondly, cross-sectional data will be collected in healthy subjects and CTS patients to provide descriptive parameters and to describe differences between patients and controls. In the final part a prospective study will be conducted to look at changes of SSCT thickness over time and after treatment.
