The aim of this study is to investigate diagnostic accuracy of median nerve strain and applied pressure measurement . Idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome patients and healthy controls will be evaluated by ultrasound. Median nerve strain, pressure applied to the skin will be measured at the proximal part of the carpal tunnel. The parameters will be compared between patients and controls, and before and after the open carpal tunnel release in the patients.
In the present investigation the pain reduction effects of a physiotherapy technique will be compared to those produced by two different pharmaceutical treatments and also by the absence of treatment, in subjects who suffer the signs and symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.
The objective of the present study is to compare the effectiveness of 5% dextrose, local corticosteroids injections and surgical release in patients with electrodiagnostically (EDx) mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The investigators hypothesize that in patients with mild to moderate CTS (1) local 5% dextrose injections is non-inferior to local corticosteroid injections at 12 months after treatment, and that (2) local 5% dextrose injections are of non-inferior effectiveness compared to surgical release at 6 months.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of local platelet rich plasma injection therapy in patients with mild to moderate idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) with clinical and electrophysiological parameters. Also the effect of platelet rich plasma and local steroid injection will be compared.
This trial seeks to use the long acting local anesthetic Exparel, in conjunction with opioid education, to attempt to avoid any post-operative opioid use following carpal tunnel surgery. This group will be compared with a "standard" group that receives non-liposomal bupivacaine, opioid education, and opioids.
Interventional study to evaluate efficacy and safety of an active splint.
This is a double blinded randomized clinical trial to study the neuromodulatory effect of tDCS in patients with CTS, the study subject will be randomly into two groups; active and sham group , the active group will receive five sessions of active TDCS over the M1 while the Sham group will receive sham tDCS in which the device will be turned off after 30 seconds. The patient will be assessed by VAS score, Boston carpal tunnel questionnaire , central sensetization inventory , pressure pain threshold, sensory and pain threshold for electerical stimulation before , after the end of the sessions and 4 weeks later.
Does a difference in patient satisfaction and cosmetic outcome exist between wound closure with absorbable or non-absorbable sutures.
This study applies the regenerative properties of autologous fat transfer to treat mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome in comparison to the current standard of care, corticosteroid treatment. The investigators hypothesize the fat transfer would prevent scar formation and aid in nerve excursion along the canal (while the neoangiogenic and regenerative growth factors could stimulate nerve regeneration) better than the standard of care treatment.
