Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Wide awake hand surgery (freezing your limb while being fully awake) has recently been popularized as being faster and safer for patients compared to hand surgery under general anesthesia or with sedation. Advantages include fast recovery and no risks of general anesthesia.
In order to freeze the wrist to undergo carpal tunnel surgery, a local anesthetic is injected into the nerves of the wrist. Among the most commonly used anesthetic agents are Lidocaine (shorter duration of anesthesia) and Bupivacaine (longer duration of anesthesia). Until now, no enough evidence to support using one anesthetic agent over the other. Furthermore, no previous studies looked at the perception of pain from patient's perspectives when using different anesthetic agents.
There will be NO change in the standard medical care that patients will receive whether or not patients decide to participate in the study. Patients that join the study will receive the same anesthetic agents used in those procedures as patients who decide not to participate. The only difference will be collecting clinical data from participants and asking participants to complete two questionnaires regarding the surgical experience, and the perceived level of pain during the two days that follow surgery. As well, participants will be asked to keep a simple log of the pain medications that are consumed during the two days after the surgery. Patients' total participation time should take no more than 30 minutes.
Patients' decision to participate in this study will help doctors in the future to decide which of these two used anesthetic agents (Lidocaine or Bupivacaine) gives patients the best experience during surgery. As well, it will help reduce the pain that some patients experience after surgery, as well as reduce the need for pain medications after surgery.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Lidocaine with epinephrine
Wrist block anesthesia with Lidocaine 1% with epinephrine; 10cc.
Group 1 will receive the same treatment as group 2, except that the wide-awake carpal tunnel release surgery will be performed under Lidocaine anesthesia instead of Bupivacaine anesthesia.
Wrist block anesthesia
The carpal tunnel release surgery will be performed under wrist block anesthesia. Group 1 will have the wrist block performed with Lidocaine and epinephrine, while Group 2 with Bupivacaine and epinephrine.
Bupivacaine with epinephrine
Wrist block anesthesia with Bupivacaine 0.25% with epinephrine; 10cc.
Group 2 will receive the same treatment as group 1, except that the wide-awake carpal tunnel release surgery will be performed under Bupivacaine anesthesia instead of Lidocaine anesthesia.
Wrist block anesthesia
The carpal tunnel release surgery will be performed under wrist block anesthesia. Group 1 will have the wrist block performed with Lidocaine and epinephrine, while Group 2 with Bupivacaine and epinephrine.
