Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the present study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of Dexmedetomidine, Ozone and Dexamethasone regional injection in carpal tunnel syndrome.


Description:

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a collection of symptoms and signs associated with median neuropathy at the carpal tunnel. Most CTS is related to idiopathic compression of the median nerve as it travels through the wrist at the carpal tunnel. Corticosteroid injection is an extensively used and accepted treatment in mild to moderate CTS according to the guidelines of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons as corticosteroids reduce the inflammation and edema associated with CTS. However, there is no guideline as to which corticosteroid has to be used as the standard treatment in CTS. Triamcinolone acetonide, a commonly used steroid for this indication, is a particulate steroid, which can cause permanent nerve injury if accidentally injected into the nerve. Local ozone injection as a therapeutic option in some musculoskeletal conditions; ozone (O3) gas is a molecule consisting of three oxygen atoms in a dynamically unstable structure. Ozone therapy has been utilized and studied for more than a century.

Study Design


Intervention

Drug:
Dexmedetomidine
Patients will receive injection of 1 microgram/kg dexmedetomidine average (70-100-microgram) (0.7-1ml) plus 4ml lidocaine injection nearby median nerve.
Ozone
Participants will receive a single local injection of 4 ml ozone (10 micrograms/dl) plus to 1 ml lidocaine (1%) using a 25 G needle.
Dexamethasone
Patients will receive a single local injection of 5 mL (3 mL lidocaine (1%) and 2 mL [8 mg] dexamethasone) via the same technique.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary The analgesic efficacy and functional status improvement of Dexmedetomidine, Ozone and Dexamethasone regional injection in carpal tunnel syndrome The analgesic efficacy and functional status improvement of Dexmedetomidine, Ozone and Dexamethasone regional injection in carpal tunnel syndrome via assessment of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) before and after injection.
VAS used as an effective tool to detect intensity of pain will be recorded (0 to10) "0" represents no pain ,"10" worst pain, "1-3" mild pain,"4-6 " moderate pain and" 7-10 " severe pain.
Each patient will be assessed at the baseline (before injection) , at 1week, 4weeks, 12weeks, and 24 weeks intervals after injection.
Each patient will be assessed at the baseline (before injection) , at 1week, 4weeks, 12weeks, and 24weeks intervals after injection date
Secondary Median motor nerve conduction study(NCS) evaluation Each patient will be assessed regarding electrophysiological changes sensory nerve conduction velocity in millimeter/seconds and distal motor latency in milliseconds at the baseline (before injection), at 1week, 4weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks intervals after injection. Each patient will be assessed at the baseline (before injection) , at 1week, 4weeks, 12weeks, and 24weeks intervals after injection date
Secondary Sensory nerve conduction study(NCS) evaluation Each patient will be assessed regarding electrophysiological changes sensory nerve conduction velocity in millimeter/seconds and distal motor latency in milliseconds at the baseline (before injection), at 1week, 4weeks, 12weeks, and 24 weeks intervals after injection. Each patient will be assessed at the baseline (before injection) , at 1week, 4weeks, 12weeks, and 24weeks intervals after injection date
Secondary Analgesic requirement Analgesic requirement ( dose and frequency of oral acetaminophen intake in first 48 hours) for post injection . First 48 hours post injection .
