Clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided needle knife therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ultrasound-guided needle-knife therapy has emerged as a widely adopted and clinically effective intervention for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), demonstrating significant therapeutic outcomes in clinical practice. However, there is currently a notable lack of systematic reviews and meta-analyses evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of ultrasound-guided needle-knife therapy in the management of CTS. Systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided needle-knife therapy in improving CTS symptoms, wrist function, nerve conduction, ultrasonic detection index, and clinical cure rate.
