结局指标
主要结局
Change in Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) Score at 6 Weeks
时间窗: Baseline and 6 weeks
Patient reported outcome measure of symptom severity and functional status. Is made of the Symptom severity scale (11 items) score 1 to 5 where lower numbers denotes better outcomes; and the Functional status scale (8 items) score 1 to 5 where lower numbers denotes better outcomes. Total score 1- 95 where lower numbers denotes better outcomes.
次要结局
- Change in Echogenicity (Hyper or Hypo) on the Median Nerve Ultrasound at 6 Weeks(Baseline and 6 weeks)
- Change in Cross-sectional Area as Measured in mm2 on Median Nerve Ultrasound at 6 Weeks(Baseline and 6 weeks)
- Change in Vascularity (Normal or Abnormal) as Measured on Median Nerve Ultrasound at 6 Weeks(Baseline and 6 weeks)
