Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Adult patients having NCS proven carpal tunnel syndrome with persistent symptoms not resolving after 6-8 weeks of medications or splinting.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients with other neurological causes like polyneuropathies, thoracic outlet syndrome, cervical radiculopathy or secondary causes of carpal tunnel syndrome like Ganglion cysts, accessory muscles etc 2. Patients who have received prior corticosteroid injection /carpal tunnel release surgery. 3. Patients with thenar atrophy. 4.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Comparison of improvement in BCTQ(SSS), BCTQ (FSS), VAS & CSA of median nerve from pre procedure to post procedure in both groups.Timepoint: At 4 week, 8 week and whenever possible 12 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.Change from baseline of BCTQ (SSS), BCTQ (FSS) & VAS after hydrodissection 2. Change from baseline of BCTQ (SSS), BCTQ (FSS) & VAS after surgical release of carpal tunnel. 3. Change from baseline of CSA of the median nerve using ultrasound in both groups. 4. Comparison of complications between the two groups 5. Comparison of change in conduction velocity & latency in median nerve on NCS from pre procedure to post procedure in both groups (whenever possibleTimepoint: At 4 weeks, 8 weeks & whenever possible 12 weeks
