Summary
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral entrapment neuropathy with
involving compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. Although many conservative
managements of CTS, the effectiveness of these methods is insignificant or only persist for a
short duration. The technique of nerve hydrodissection is now commonly used for peeling the
nerve from surrounding soft tissue, which may help allow the impulse to pass, and rescue the
nerve with ischemic damage. However, the exact effect and interval of hydrodissection are
unknown because of the lack of well-designed studies Hence, investigators design a
randomized, double- blind, controlled trail to assess the therapeutic effect of
ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection in patients with CTS.
