Comparison of Ultrasound Findings of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome before and after Corticosteroid Injection
Background and Objective: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is the most prevalent type of peripheral neuropathy due to neural entrapment. This syndrome is primarily diagnosed based on clinical symptoms, and it is subsequently confirmed by electro-diagnostic studies. Ultrasonography as a safe, available, and inexpensive method is also valuable in the follow-up of patients. This study aimed to evaluate the ...
متن کاملEffectiveness of Ultrasound-Guided Carpal Tunnel Injection Using In-Plane Ulnar Approach
The objective of this study is to evaluate the degree of symptom improvement and the change of electrophysiological and ultrasonographic findings after sonographically guided local steroid injection using an in-plane ulnar approach in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Seventy-five cases of 44 patients diagnosed with CTS were included and evaluated at baseline and at 4 and 12 weeks after injection. ...
متن کاملUltrasound-Guided Pulsed Radiofrequency for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Single-Blinded Randomized Controlled Study
OBJECTIVE We assessed the therapeutic efficiency of ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment of the median nerve in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). METHODS We conducted a prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blinded study. Forty-four patients with CTS were randomized into intervention or control groups. Patients in the intervention group were treated with PRF...
متن کاملCorticosteroid injection for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome.
OBJECTIVE To compare low and high dose, and short and long acting corticosteroids in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. METHODS A randomised, controlled, single blind trial with electromyographic and subjective outcome measures. RESULTS 25 mg hydrocortisone is as effective as higher doses or long acting triamcinolone at a six week and six month follow up. CONCLUSION As low dose ster...
متن کاملComparing the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided versus blind steroid injection in the treatment of severe carpal tunnel syndrome
Background/aim: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of ultrasound (US)-guided injection versus blind injection of corticosteroids in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Materials and methods: This prospective, randomized clinical trial included patients with severe CTS based on clinical and electrophysiological criteria. The patients were evaluated for clinical and electrop...
