The trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Fascial Manipulation on pain reduction, functional recovery and nerve conduction of patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand scale (DASH), Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTQ) and Electroneuromyography were assessed. The study is blind for the patient and the raters.
The main purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of use Alpha lipoic acid before and after surgical release of carpal tunnel syndrome. Controlled Clinical trial.
This study is focused on comparing patients' pain scores on a visual analogue scale (VAS) and the difference in analgesics use post-operatively (with the same prescription defining only the maximum frequency) between lidocaine with epinephrine & bupivacaine with epinephrine as local anesthetics in wide-awake hand surgery. The investigators' hypothesis states that a longer acting local anesthetic agent (bupivacaine) would be able to provide better postoperative pain relief demonstrated by lower pain scores on VAS and less analgesics use (as will be recorded on the patient's log). This will be mainly obvious in the first 24 hours postoperative period when the pain is usually at maximum levels and starts to decline thereafter. If the investigators' hypothesis is true, this may potentially change practices of many hand surgeons towards the routine use of longer acting local anesthetics particularly in wide-awake hand surgery, and perhaps could be extrapolated to other surgical specialties. Further, a reduction in postoperative analgesics use would be of paramount clinical importance, as it would reduce their potential side effects.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of intra-operative administration of IV tylenol and/or IV toradol in minimizing post-operative pain for carpal tunnel patients and distal radius fracture patients.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of combining a wrist orthosis with either ultrasound therapy or paraffin bath therapy in treating carpal tunnel syndrome patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine how appropriate and practically is the EQ-5D questionnaire in use on patients with carpal tunnel syndrome undergoing surgery along the change of quality of life.
This study aims for a better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of the complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). This will be done by testing the quantitative sensory testing, the remote ischemic conditioning, the conditioned pain modulation (CPM) and the analysis of the heart-rate variability in patients with CRPS and a control-group. We hypothesize decreased conditioned pain modulation, less effects of remote ischemic conditioning and an affection of the heart-rate variability in patients with CPRS.
This randomized clinical trial will investigate changes in hand function, active cervical range of motion and pinch grip force after the application of physical therapy in women with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The purpose of this study is to compare changes in function, cervical range of motion and pinch grip force induced after the application of a physical therapy program including manual therapies targeted to those areas related to the median nerve or after endoscopic surgery in women with CTS at medium and long-term follow-up. The hypothesis is that manual therapy is more effective for increasing cervical range of motion and pinch grip force, but similarly effective for improving function, than surgical treatment in women with CTS.
The purpose of this study is to learn if researchers can identify through ultrasound images and clinical assessment which subjects with carpel tunnel syndrome will do better following standard of care non-surgical or surgical treatment.
