Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of long term effectiveness of open surgery versus ultrasound guided median nerve hydrodissection in terms of symptoms , function and electrophysiological studies in patients with CTS
Design
There are two groups of clinical trials 40 patients in the age range of 20 to 65 years with moderate to severe CTS were randomly divided into two groups of 20 people random allocation is done in random blocks with block size 4 and block number 10. Thus, based on AABB letter permutations, we produce a list of 40 letters A and B and assign them to patients, respectively.
Settings and conduct
this study, were to Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Babol The first group undergoes open surgery cut 2.5 cm in length at a distance of 1.5 cm We create a distal meter to the wrist in the direction of the fourth finger., we release the distal end of the transverse ligament to the proximal to show the median nerve
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
In this study, 40 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome who referred to Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Babol during 1397-1397 and will undergo open surgery and release of the median nerve with ultrasound vision with liquid and local steroid injection, are included in the study Patients with systemic disease, such as inflammatory joint disease, diabetes, hypothyroidism, with a history of CTS surgery or nerve damage
Intervention groups
A group undergoes open surgery . The other group undergoes median nerve release by ultrasound with fluid and topical steroid injections.
Main outcome variables
The rate of improvement in patients' symptoms The rate of improvement in patients' function after open surgery The rate of improvement of patients' electrophysiological parameters

Primary outcomes

1

Description
The rate of improvement in patients' symptoms
Timepoint
a special questionnaire for the evaluation of CTS patients, which is filled out once before surgery and three times at 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery
Method of measurement
This questionnaire was designed by David W et al., Which is the Boston questionnaire, which consists of two tables, one to assess symptoms and the other to assess patient performance. In total, the patient gets a score between 11-55 for symptoms and 8-40 for function

Secondary outcomes

1

Description
The rate of improvement of patients' electrophysiological parameters after open surgery and release of the median nerve
Timepoint
To evaluate patients, the electrophysiological study of patients (EMG-NCV) and a special questionnaire for the evaluation of CTS patients, which is filled out once before surgery and three times at 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery, are used to evaluate the outcome of the operation
Method of measurement
This questionnaire was designed by David W et al., Which is the Boston questionnaire, which consists of two tables, one to assess symptoms and the other to assess patient performance. In total, the patient gets a score between 11-55 for symptoms and 8-40 for function. The higher this number, the more severe the person's disease

Intervention groups

1

Description
We create a distal meter to the wrist in the direction of the fourth finger. After removing the adipose tissue and aponeurosis, we release the distal end of the transverse ligament. Then, this ligament formsIt is cut lengthwise from the distal to the proximal to show the median nerve
Category
Treatment - Surgery

2

Description
Intervention group: The second group, with the help of median nerve ultrasound from forearm to wrist under CFT ligament(Common Flexor Tendon) is specified. With the help of a special block needle that can be detected by sonography (Sonovisible needle), it is guided directly from the ulnar wrist under the CFT and by slow injection of the fluid combination with local anesthesia of bupivacaine and depomedrol, the median nerve is separated from the CFT

Treatment - Drugs
