CTS is more frequent in females than in males, it has been associated to work activities, hormone exposure and obesity. Although its primary treatment is conservative, there is strong evidence that patients who retard surgery are more prone to develop worse outcomes. Surgery to treat CTS consists in liberating carpal tunnel in order to ameliorate median nerve symptoms; however, more than 20% of patients who undergo surgery have recurrent CTS (RCTS). RCTS is due to a fibrotic process in the site of the surgery. Amniotic membrane (AM) is the inner layer of the placenta which has been used to treat different pathologies. AM transplantation (AMT) has demonstrated to significantly inhibit inflammation and fibrosis. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the effect of AMT in CTS surgery. The present is a randomized, open labeled, controlled clinical study. The investigators included patients with recent diagnosis of CTS and divided into two groups. The experimental group received AMT concomitantly with conventional surgery; whilst, the control group received only the conventional surgery. Clinical status of patients measured with the BCTQ questionaire was the main outcome. Both groups showed similar BCTQ punctuation at the beginning of the study. However, the results of the experimental group were significantly better than those from the control group through time, until the finish of the study. None of the patients presented complications or adverse effects related to the AMT. These results indicate that AMT is a secure and suitable treatment for CTS presenting better clinical outcomes at one-year follow-up.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '65 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients with recent CTS diagnosis\n* Patients that undergo CTS surgery\n* Patients that accept to participate in the study\n* Patients that sign informed consent\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients with recurrent CTS diagnosis;\n* Patients with concomitant hand/arm comorbidities\n* Patients with any systemic disease that comprises muscles and bones\n* Collagenopathies\n* Systemic lupus erythematosus'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04075357', 'briefTitle': 'Amniotic Membrane in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Instituto de Oftalmología Fundación Conde de Valenciana'}, 'officialTitle': 'Amniotic Membrane Transplantation for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment: One-year Follow-up', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'CEI-2016/10/04'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'NO_INTERVENTION', 'label': 'Control', 'description': 'The patients underwent conventional CTS surgery'}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Experimental', 'description': 'The patients underwent conventional CTS surgery and transplantation of amniotic membrane', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Amniotic membrane transplantation']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Amniotic membrane transplantation', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'Amniotic membrane was located over median nerve during surgery of CTS, prior of closing.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Experimental']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '06800', 'city': 'Mexico City', 'country': 'Mexico', 'facility': 'Instituto de Oftalmología', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 19.42847, 'lon': -99.12766}}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'UNDECIDED', 'description': 'Individual participant data will be published in a Journal.
