Military study tests less invasive carpal tunnel surgery

NCT ID NCT04504019

Summary

This study compared two surgical methods for treating carpal tunnel syndrome in military personnel. Researchers tested whether a newer, ultrasound-guided procedure with a smaller incision works as well as the traditional open surgery. They measured pain, hand function, recovery time, and how quickly participants could return to duty over two years.
