Comparing corticosteroid injection and nerve hydrodissection for carpal tunnel syndrome

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of corticosteroid injections and nerve hydrodissection in treating carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) by comparing their benefits alongside exercise therapy. Participants diagnosed with CTS will receive either treatment and their symptoms, including pain and numbness, will be monitored. The study seeks to determine which method provides better relief for patients suffering from this common nerve compression condition. The research will involve a thorough assessment of patient responses to the interventions over a specified period.
