Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Twenty-five patients with bifid median nerve and twenty-five patients without bifid median nerve, aged 18-65, who applied to the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic at Beylikdüzü State Hospital, diagnosed with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome based on electrophysiological studies, and who received ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection, will be included in our study. Patients identified as having a bifid median nerve during the injection will be noted and invited for a follow-up at the 1st month to assess their pain and functional status. The same follow-up visit will be conducted for an equal number of age- and gender-matched patients without bifid median nerve who received the injection. At the end of the study, the 1-month efficacy of the injection in both groups will be evaluated. Patients who agree to participate in the study will be asked to complete the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTQ), and the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire (Quick-DASH) before the injection. They will then be invited for a follow-up visit at the 1st month, where the VAS, BCTQ, and Quick-DASH will be administered again.
