Ulnar neuropathy at elbow (UNE) is the second common peripheral entrapment neuropathy. Although many conservative managements of UNE, the effectiveness of these methods are unsatisfied especial the moderate degree of UNE. Recently, ultrasound-guided perineural injection therapy (PIT) with 5% dextrose is progressively applicated for clinical treatment for entrapment neuropathy. However, current studies have not proved the effects of PIT on peripheral neuropathy because these studies enrolled small number of patients and lacked controlled design. We design a randomized, double-blind, controlled trail to assess the effect after ultrasound-guided PIT with 5% dextrose in patients with mild and moderate UNE.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change from pain on 1st, 3rd, 6th month after injection | Digital pain severity or paresthesia/dysthesia was evaluated using visual analog scale (VAS). Pain score scale ranged from 0 to 10, with 10 indicating the most severe pain. | Pre-treatment, 1st, 3rd, 6th month after injection | |
Secondary | Change from severity of symptoms and functional status on 1st, 3rd, 6th month after injection | Taiwan Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) contains 11-item disability/symptom scale and each item has five levels of response scoring from 1 to 5. The higher score means more disability or severer symptoms. | Pre-treatment, 1st, 3rd, 6th month after injection | |
Secondary | Change from nerve conduction velocity on 1st, 3rd, 6th month after injection | Nerve motor conduction velocity of the ulnar nerve before treatment and multiple time frame after treatment. | Pre-treatment, 1st, 3rd, 6th month after injection | |
Secondary | Change from cross-sectional area on 1st, 3rd, 6th month after injection | Using the musculoskeletal sonogram to measure the cross-sectional area of the ulnar nerve before treatment and multiple time frame after treatment. | Pre-treatment, 1st, 3rd, 6th month after injection | |
Secondary | Change from palmer finger pinch and grasp on 1st, 3rd, 6th month after injection | The palmer finger pinch and grasp strength was measured using dynamometer (Fabrication Enterprises Inc., USA) before treatment and multiple time frame after treatment. | Pre-treatment, 1st, 3rd, 6th month after injection |
