Carpal tunnel release
The operating surgeons will make a skin incision distally from the distal wrist crease and ulnar to the thenar crease. The appropriate tissues, including the subcutaneous tissue, palmar fascia, flexor retinaculum, and antebrachial fascia, will then be divided in CTR group. Haemostasis will be achieved using bipolar coagulation. The skin will be closed, and an appropriate dressing will be applied.
Placebo surgery
Only an skin incision will be made and the same time as CTR operation takes will be waited until skin closure. An appropriate dressing will be applied.
