The Effect of Local Corticosteroid Injection in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
The Effect of Local Corticosteroid Injection on Electrophysiological and Ultrasonographic Findings in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 May 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Our study was planned as a prospective observational study aiming to compare the post-intervention recovery process between patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and diabetes mellitus and patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome without diabetes mellitus. Patients who presented to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic with clinical symptoms consistent with carpal tunnel syndrome and who were diagnosed with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome based on electrophysiological findings and who received corticosteroid + local anesthetic injection will be included in the study. Data from patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be included in the study. Patients' demographic and clinical data will be recorded. Records will be taken before treatment and at 4 and 12 weeks after treatment.
