Ultrasound Guided Median Nerve Hydrodissection Using Dextrose
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
to compare the efficacy of dextrose 5% with steroid hydrodissection in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
|
N/A |
Detailed Description
in some cases there is prohibition to use steroid with example the patient rejection to use steroid the maneuver planned median nerve hydrodissection using ultrasound and 10 mld of dextrose 5%, unleash the median nerve for the surrounding structure and short follow up planned to be 2 weeks
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: dextrose 5% 10 mls of dextrose under ultrasound to separate the median nerve from adjacent structures |
Procedure: dextrose 5% median nerve hydrodissection
planned to be a good alternative to steroid hydrodissection
|
Active Comparator: steroid 10 mls of steroid used to separate the median nerve from adjacent structures |
Procedure: dextrose 5% median nerve hydrodissection
planned to be a good alternative to steroid hydrodissection

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- pain relief in 2 weeks follow up [6 months]
difference in sensory and functional symptoms post median nerve hydrodissection using dextrose and compare this effect with steroid population arm using Boston questionnaire
