Sensory Reeducation in Peripheral Nerve Injuries of Hand
Median Nerve DiseaseUlnar Nerve Disease1 moreObjectives: To develop a protocol for early treatment using sensory reeducation through the mirror after surgical reconstruction of the median nerve and / or ulnar hand, and its comparison with the evolution of the return of skin sensitivity after a not early rehabilitation which will be conducted by physiotherapists, with blinding of the evaluators.
WALANT Procedure in Carpal Tunnel Release
Carpal TunnelMedian Nerve Neuralgia2 moreThe possible benefits expected from the use of the WALANT procedure are a decrease in intraoperative pain at the surgical site, a decrease in hospitalization time, and a decrease in the time required to lift the anesthesia postoperatively. The risks identified are those inherent to each type of anesthesia (WALANT or traditional ALR), as encountered in current practice, and are therefore not specific to the study: risks related to the local anesthetic agent or risks related to the puncture procedure. The main objective is to determine whether the patient's intraoperative pain at the surgical site is less after a WALANT procedure compared to a traditional ALR procedure (axillary or trunk).
Diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Effectiveness of Diagnostic Tests. Clinical Trial of Accuracy...
Carpal Tunnel SyndromeCompression Neuropathy3 moreThere is no golden universal standard for the diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). In this scenario, for a comparison of the effectiveness of the principal diagnostic tests CTS should determine how they affect the likelihood of disease through a clinical accuracy trial of good methodological quality in order to get answers to what is the best diagnostic strategy in clinical CTS practice. The paresthesia in nerve distribution territory median hands is the most common symptom in patients with CTS. The nuisance caused by paresthesia directly affects the quality of life of patients and impairs daily manual activities and sleep quality. To evaluate the remission of paresthesia is a major clinical criterion for improved STC being an expected relevant outcome for the patient. This study evaluated and compared the diagnostic accuracy of the ultrasonography (US) and electromyography (EMG), considering the postoperative status of remission of paresthesia as the reference standard in the diagnosis of CTS.
Role of Inflammation in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel SyndromeMedian Neuropathy1 moreThis study aims to investigate the role of inflammation in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) using a prospective cohort study design. The study will involve a sample of at least 50 individuals with CTS who will undergo a comprehensive clinical and biochemical evaluation to assess the role of inflammation in CTS. The primary outcome measures include inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), as well as clinical measures of CTS severity. Data will be analyzed using regression analysis to determine the relationship between inflammation and CTS. The study is expected to provide information on the role of inflammation in CTS and inform the choice of drug and concentration for transdermal drug administration.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Evaluation With Ultrasound in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Median Nerve EntrapmentIn rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, the diagnosis of Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) was made based on clinical findings and physical examinations. Then, the cross-sectional areas of the participants' median nerves from different levels were measured. Meidolateral and anteroposterior diameter were measured at the level of the carpal tunnel inlet. Flattening ratio was calculated. wrist to forearm ratio and wrist to forearm difference were calculated. The obtained data were compared between RA with CTS, RA without CTS and healthy control.
Myth of Double Crush Syndrome in Median Nerve
Cervical RadiculopathyMedian Nerve DiseaseThere is relation between the cervical radiculopathy and carpal tunnel syndrome and why the referred pain is fall at carpal tunnel not at elbow.
Neuromuscular Ultrasound for Focal Neuropathies
Focal NeuropathiesCarpal Tunnel Syndrome7 moreThe purpose of this study is to determine if a new diagnostic technique, called neuromuscular ultrasound, can improve our ability to diagnose focal nerve disease.
