Detailed Description

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

The study findings would be helpful in determining the superiority of one surgical technique over the other for carpal tunnel release so that a quicker return to normal activities and work for those patients could be achieved, causing less pain and scarring. Due to frequent healthcare visits, quality of life can also be improved along with a decrease in morbidity.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Conventional open CTR

Conventional open CTR involved making a longitudinal incision in the wrist, typically along the median palmar crease, to access and release the transverse carpal ligament.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Conventional open CTR

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Conventional open CTR involved making a longitudinal incision in the wrist, typically along the median palmar crease, to access and release the transverse carpal ligament.

Transverse mini-incision technique

Mini-incision CTR involved a smaller incision than traditional CTR procedures, aiming to minimize scarring and improve recovery time.
