Clinical Trial Summary

PRP represents a promising, nonsurgical option for patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) with improvement in symptoms compared to placebo, conservative treatment, and local corticosteroid injections at 3-months postintervention. However, the lack of significant long-term results in pain and function demands the presence of future studies to further determine the long-term effect on a large group of homogeneous patients. More over to determine the clinical indications, effect on differing CTS severities, and the effects of preparation, concentration of the platelets and methods of activation of PRP


Clinical Trial Description

1. The patients are blinded to the type of drug and the researchers are blinded to the randomization. Randomization will be done using a research randomization program (http://www.randomizer.org) 2. Patients will be randomly divided into three groups; each consists of 30 patients. Group 1 will include patients subjected to ultrasound guided activated PRP injection, group 2 will include patients subjected to ultrasound guided non-activated PRP injection, and group 3 patients will be subjected to ultrasound guided hydro dissection using a combination of steroid (Triamcinolone 40mg), LA (local anesthesia) and dextrose. ;
