Filter by:The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of KT versus TENS combining self-myofascial stretching in treatment of CTS through clinical, functional assessment and sensory measurements. Primary hypothesis The KT group has a more substantial improvement in hand grip, pain relief, enhancing proprioceptive sensitivity and dexterity compare to the TENS group. treatment program,
Patients operated for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) at Ålesund Hospital (200 patients) will have a biopsy to diagnose ATTR amyloidosis. Patients with positive biopsy will be examined to decide wether they have cardiac amyloidosis. All patients with positive biopsy will be followed closely for 10 years wit echocardiography an clinically.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Transfer Energy Capacitive and Resistive (TECAR) therapy on pain, symptom severity and function in patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) based on clinical and electromyography (EMG) findings and to compare it with ultrasound therapy (US). Methods: A total of 42 patients aged between 18 and 65 years, were randomly divided into two groups; group 1, US therapy 5 minutes intermittently for 2 weeks, 5 times a week, for a total of 10 sessions, group 2 TECAR therapy 5 min capacitive (CAP) and 10 min resistive (RES), 3 days a week for 2 weeks, for a total of 6 sessions. Both groups received paraffin therapy and wrist orthosis. All Patients were evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain and paresthesia levels, the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) for symptom severity and functional levels. Additionally, median nerve CSA was measured by ultrasound, at the baseline, post-treatment, first and third months.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a set of symptoms and signs caused by compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel. The prevalence in the general population is about 3.72%, with a rising trend, making it the most common peripheral nerve entrapment syndrome. Compared to conservative treatment, surgical treatment has definite efficacy and lower recurrence rates, making it the ultimate choice for relieving median nerve compression. However, open surgery has disadvantages such as large trauma, long postoperative recovery period, and scar formation, while wrist arthroscopic surgery, although minimally invasive, is technically challenging, requires expensive specialized equipment, and has low cost-effectiveness, limiting its clinical application. Therefore, based on clinical and life experience, our team innovatively developed the "Ultrasound-guided Needle Release of the Transverse Carpal Ligament." This technique avoids the risks of large trauma and scar formation associated with traditional open surgery, significantly shortens surgical and postoperative recovery times, and is more minimally invasive and cost-effective compared to wrist arthroscopic surgery, thus having high clinical value for promotion. This study aims to validate the effectiveness and safety of this innovative procedure through a single-arm interventional clinical study, providing a theoretical basis for further clinical application.
This is a multicenter observational study consisting of retrospective and prospective phases. The retrospective phase will entail secondary data collection from electronic or paper medical records of patients who underwent surgery for CTS to assess their probability of having ATTR PN.
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.
