• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral entrapment neuropathy with involving compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. Rather than other progressive disease, CTS is characterized by remission and recurrence. The hydrodissection could decrease the entrapment of nerve to restore blood supply. In addition, the Vitamin B12 was considered to be beneficial for peripheral neuropathy and pain relief. The investigators design a randomized, double-blind, controlled trail to assess the effect after ultrasound-guided hydrodissection with Vitamin B12 in patients with CTS.
