Summary

This study compares two common injection treatments—cortisone and saline—for carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition causing wrist pain and numbness. About 90 adults aged 18-65 with confirmed carpal tunnel will receive one of the injections plus exercise therapy. Researchers will measure nerve function, pain, and wrist ultrasound findings before and 12 weeks after treatment to see which approach works better.
