Efficacy of Ozone Therapy and Splint in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

ozone injections: Ozone injections (5 mL/10 μg/dL) were administered under aseptic conditions, with the wrist fixed in dorsiflexion, and with the insulin injector, a 23-gauge needle was inserted between the palmaris longus and flexor carpi radialis muscles at a 45-degree angle from the palmar distal line (Salutem/19147884379).

Splint: hand splint for night

Study summary

This study will investigate the effectiveness of repeated ozone therapy combined with splint therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).CTS patients will be split into two groups: ozone plus splint and splint only. Both groups will use wrist splints for 3 weeks, with the ozone+splint group receiving weekly ozone injections for three weeks.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire — 10 minutes
  As the score obtained from the survey increases, the improvement increases.
• visual analog scale — 1 minute
  As the score approaches 10, the intensity of pain felt increases.
• electromyography (EMG) — 10 minutes
  In the electrophysiological examination, median sensory nerve conduction studies and median motor nerve conduction studies will be measured. Median motor nerve latency, median motor nerve conduction velocity, and compound muscle action potential amplitude will be measured and recorded.
