The technique of perineural injection therapy (PIT) by using 5% dextrose (D5W) is now commonly used for peeling the nerve from surrounding soft tissue (called nerve hydrodissection), which may help antineurogenic inflammation, allow the impulse to pass, and rescue the nerve with ischemic damage. However, the evidence and reference of PIT and nerve hydrodissection are very seldom until our series researches since 2017. Moreover, our research revealed PIT with D5W is more beneficial than that of corticosteroid in patients with mild-to-moderate CTS at 4 to 6 months postinjection. However, the accumulative effect and long-term effect (more than 6 months) of PIT is still unknown. Hence, we design a randomized, double- blind, controlled trail to assess the long-term effect of ultrasound-guided PIT in patients with CTS. The aim one is to survey the possible accumulative effect of different sessions of PIT (6 months follow-up) and aim two is to evaluate the long-term effect and safety of PIT (one year follow-up).', 'detailedDescription': 'After obtaining written informed consent, patients clinically diagnosed with mild-to-moderate CTS were includes and randomized into three groups. Group A, patients received two-sessions of ultrasound-guided PIT with 10cc D5W (3 months interval); Group B, patients received one-session of ultrasound-guided PIT with 10cc D5W and 5cc normal saline separately (3 months interval); Group C (control group), patients received two-sessions of ultrasound-guided PIT with nerve hydrodissection with 10cc normal saline. The primary outcome is Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTQ) and secondary outcomes include visual analog scale (VAS), cross-sectional area (CSA) of the median nerve, nerve conduction velocity of the median nerve, and Global assessment of treatment. The evaluations were performed pretreatment as well as on the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th month and one year after first injection.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '80 Years', 'minimumAge': '20 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age between 20-80 year-old.\n* Diagnosis was confirmed using an electrophysiological study\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Cancer\n* Coagulopathy\n* Pregnancy\n* Inflammation status\n* Cervical radiculopathy\n* Polyneuropathy, brachial plexopathy\n* Thoracic outlet syndrome\n* Previously undergone wrist surgery or steroid injection for CTS'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT03802435', 'briefTitle': 'Different Sessions of Perineural Injection With Dextrose for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Tri-Service General Hospital'}, 'officialTitle': 'Comparison of Long-term Effect in Different Sessions of Perineural Injection With Dextrose for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'Different PIT for CTS'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Two-sessions of ultrasound-guided PIT', 'description': 'two-sessions of ultrasound-guided PIT with 10cc 5% dextrose (3 months interval)', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: two-sessions of ultrasound-guided PIT']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'One-session of ultrasound-guided PIT', 'description': 'one-session of ultrasound-guided PIT with 10cc 5% dextrose and 10cc normal saline separately (3 months interval)', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: One-sessions of ultrasound-guided PIT']}, {'type': 'PLACEBO_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Two-session of ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection', 'description': 'two-sessions of ultrasound-guided PIT with nerve hydrodissection with 10cc normal saline (3 months interval).', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Placebo ultrasound-guided injection with nerve hydrodissection']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'two-sessions of ultrasound-guided PIT', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'two-sessions of ultrasound-guided PIT with 10cc D5W (3 months interval)', 'armGroupLabels': ['Two-sessions of ultrasound-guided PIT']}, {'name': 'One-sessions of ultrasound-guided PIT', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'One-session of ultrasound-guided PIT with 10cc D5W and 10cc normal saline separately (3 months interval)', 'armGroupLabels': ['One-session of ultrasound-guided PIT']}, {'name': 'Placebo ultrasound-guided injection with nerve hydrodissection', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'Two-sessions of ultrasound-guided PIT with nerve hydrodissection with 10cc normal saline (3 months interval).', 'armGroupLabels': ['Two-session of ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '886', 'city': 'Taipei', 'state': 'Neihu District', 'country': 'Taiwan', 'facility': 'Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Tri-Service General Hospital', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 25.05306, 'lon': 121.52639}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Yung-Tsan Wu, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Tri-Service General Hospital'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'YES'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Tri-Service General Hospital', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Attending Physician of Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation', 'investigatorFullName': 'Yung-Tsan Wu', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Tri-Service General Hospital'}}}}
