简要总结
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 hyaluronic acid was proved to decrease adhension of soft tissue and nerve during operation. The investigators design a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial to assess the effect after ultrasound-guided hydrodissection with hyaluronic acid in patients with CTS.
详细描述
After obtaining written informed consent, patients with bilateral CTS will been randomized into intervention and control group. Participants in intervention group received one-dose ultrasound-guided hydrodissection with hyaluronic acid and control side received one-dose ultrasound-guided injection with normal saline. No additional treatment after injection through the study period. The primary outcome is Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTQ) and secondary outcomes include visual analog scale (VAS), cross-sectional area (CSA) of the median nerve, sensory nerve conduction velocity of the median nerve, and finger pinch strength. The evaluation was performed pretreatment as well as on the 2nd week, 1st, 3rd, 6th month and one year after the treatment.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from baseline of severity of symptoms and functional status on 2nd week, 1st, 3rd, 6th month and one year after injection
时间窗: Pre-treatment, 2nd week, 1st, 3rd, 6th month and one year
Boston carpal tunnel syndrome questionnaire (BCTQ) is a frequently used patient-based questionnaire for measurement of CTS which encompasses two components. In total, 11 questions and 8 items were evaluated to rate the symptom severity scale (SSS) and functional status scale (FSS), respectively. Both subscales range from 1 to 5 with a higher score indicating a higher degree of disability. The mean of total SSS and FSS divided with each item score were used for further analysis.
次要结局
- Change from baseline of pain on 2nd week, 1st, 3rd, 6th month and one year after injection(Pre-treatment, 2nd week, 1st, 3rd, 6th month and one year)
- Change from baseline of cross-sectional area of the median nerve on 2nd week, 1st, 3rd, 6th month and one year after injection(Pre-treatment, 2nd week, 1st, 3rd, 6th month and one year)
- Change from baseline of finger pinch on 2nd week, 1st, 3rd, 6th month and one year after injection(Pre-treatment, 2nd week, 1st, 3rd, 6th month and one year)
- Change from baseline of conduction velocity, amplitude of median nerve on 2nd week, 1st, 3rd, 6th month and one year after injection(Pre-treatment, 2nd week, 1st, 3rd, 6th month and one year)
