Brief Summary  

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral entrapment neuropathy is thought to be caused by the compression of the median nerve as a result of excess pressure from surrounding tissues leading to nerve ischemia within the carpaltunnel.Therefore, applying a novel nonsurgical management is important and valuable during the presurgical stage in patients with CTS, especially those of moderate-to-severe grades. Perineural injection therapy is a technique involves the injection of 5% dextrose (osmolality similar to that of normal saline) solution near the peripheral nerve and has been found to provide promising pain-relief benefits. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a biologic product of concentrated platelets; it contains several growth factors well known to be effective on inflammation and wound healing. 5% Dextrose and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are the two most commonly used regenerative injection have shown their potential role in promoting tissue




repair.
AIM  -  To comparing the effectiveness of ultrasound guided 5% dextrose prolotherapy versus platelet rich plasma in treatment of moderate to severe carpal tunnel syndrome.
