What this Trial Is About
The goal of this prospective, randomized, double-blinded, head-to-head comparative study is to compare the efficacy of ultrasound-guided 4 ml 5% dextrose perineural injection versus 3 ml 5% dextrose with 1 ml 40 mg/ml methylprednisolone perineural injection in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there a difference in efficacy between interventions regarding 1. pain alleviation, 2. improvement in symptoms severity and functional status, 3. improvement in grip strength, 4. size of median nerve cross-sectional area, and 5. improvement in quality of life during the six-month post-intervention follow-up period?
