NCT00655915
This study will investigate whether symptomatic improvement following carpal tunnel corticosteroid injection can be correlated to symptomatic improvement following carpal tunnel release and therefore serve as a prognostic indicator. Clinical question: Does response to corticosteroid injection in CTS predict outcomes of surgical treatment? Secondary Questions: 1. Can we confirm previous retrospectively collected data that a certain percentage of conservatively managed patients with steroid injection will avoid surgery, and that patients who undergo surgery will have better outcomes than those who do not. 2. Are there differences between worker's compensation and non-worker's compensation patients with regard to the primary clinical question? 3. What are Carpal Tunnel Release outcomes for the subset of patients with negative electrophysiologic studies? 4. What are the outcomes of patients who undergo carpal tunnel release vs. those who choose not to undergo carpal tunnel release? A prospective cohort design study is the appropriate study design in order to measure the association between a predictor (response to injection) and outcome (response to surgery).
