A Comparison of Ultrasound-guided Steroid Injection With Wrist Splint in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

A total 1 ml of injectate consisting of 0.5 ml of depo-Medrol (methylprednisolone acetate 40mg/ml) and 0.5 mL of 1% lidocaine will be injected into the carpal tunnel under ultrasound guidance to deliver it into the target area. After completion of the injection, the distal carpal tunnel is scanned to ensure injectate distribution within the distal aspect of the carpal tunnel.
