Influence of Pronator Teres Release on Treatment of Median Nerve Compression Neuropathy

The Influence of Pronator Teres Release in the Treatment of Median Nerve Compression Neuropathy: A Randomized Prospective Study

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: Phase 2
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 100 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Christine M. Kleinert Institute for Hand and Microsurgery · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 65 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The investigators are comparing two standard of care procedures which can be performed at the same time, or sequentially. The hypothesis being tested is whether simultaneous release of both the carpal Tunnel and the Pronator Teres results in a better outcome in terms of symptom relief and recurrence than Carpal Tunnel Release alone when signs and symptoms of both carpal tunnel and pronator Teres syndromes are present.

Conditions

• Median Nerve Compression

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Pronator Teres Release	Surgical release of median nerve compression
PROCEDURE	dual compression release	Both the carpal tunnel compression and the pronator teres compression will be released on the same day.
PROCEDURE	dual compression release	both procedures will be done on the same day
PROCEDURE	median nerve release only	only the carpal tunnel compression is released
