Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare open carpal tunnel release using local anesthesia with or without a tourniquet. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do the tourniquet cause more procedural pain? 2. Does the use of tourniquet affect the outcome after the procedure? Participants will be randomized to either local anesthesia with a tourniquet or local anesthesia with adrenaline, and undrgo standard open carpal tunnel release.
