Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • •Adult patients undergoing bilateral carpal tunnel release operations under local anesthesia.
  • •Carpal tunnel syndrome is a disease seen in adults (usually over the age of 35\)
  • •We would only include patients with bilateral disease so that we can compare the pain scores on each side
  • •Are the trial subjects under 18? no
  • •Number of subjects for this age range:
  • •F.1\.2 Adults (18\-64 years) yes
  • •F.1\.2\.1 Number of subjects for this age range
  • •F.1\.3 Elderly (\>\=65 years) yes
  • •F.1\.3\.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion Criteria

  • •1\. Patients unable to consent
  • •2\. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This is because the operation in these patients may involve additional procedures, eg. excision of synovium. This would bias the pain scores.
  • •3\. Patients requiring any procedure in addition to the carpal tunnel release, eg: release of a trigger finger, excision of a swelling in the same hand etc.
  • •4\. Patients requiring a general anaesthetic
  • •5\. Patients with peripheral neuropathy. These patients may have an altered pain threshold and perception
  • •6\. Patients with vascular insufficiency affecting the same hand. They are likely to have more pain due to decreased blood supply to the hand.
  • •7\. Patients undergoing re\-do carpal tunnel surgery.
  • •8\. Patients deemed unfit to undergo the procedure as a day case, including those with congestive cardiac failure, liver disease, impaired respiratory function, epilepsy.
  • •9\. Patients with acute porphyrias
  • •10\. Pregnant and lactating women
