Two surgical approaches for carpal tunnel syndrome relief

This trial compares two surgical approaches for carpal tunnel syndrome, a common nerve compression condition in the hand and wrist. One approach is traditional open surgery, which has been used for many years. The other is a newer, minimally invasive ultrasound-guided technique that uses a smaller incision. The study wants to see which approach helps patients recover better and feel more satisfied with their results.

Open surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome has been the standard treatment for decades, but it creates a scar in a sensitive area of the hand that can be painful and slow recovery. The newer ultrasound-guided approach promises a smaller scar and potentially faster healing, but doctors want to carefully compare how well both methods actually work for patients.
