Summary

This study looked at 113 adults with carpal tunnel syndrome to compare early pain and hand function after two types of surgery: endoscopic (using a small camera) and open (a larger incision). Participants were asked about pain and function using standard questionnaires. The goal was to see if one method leads to faster recovery in the first few weeks.
