Carpal Tunnel Release Using Ultrasound (CiTRUS)

August 16, 2022 updated by: Sonex Health, Inc.

Carpal Tunnel Release Using Ultrasound Patient Experience Registry

The goal of the Carpal Tunnel Release Using Ultrasound registry (CiTRUS Registry) is to collect experience information from patients scheduled to undergo carpal tunnel release surgery with either the SX-One MicroKnife® with ultrasound guidance or the traditional mini-open technique without US guidance.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The CiTRUS registry is an observational study designed to better understand the overall patient experience following a carpal tunnel release surgery using either the SX-One MicroKnife with ultrasound guidance or the traditional mini-open technique without ultrasound guidance. The determination of which surgical technique to uses will be determined by the treating physician and the patient. The patient registry outcomes are intended to help direct future clinical care, educate patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, and design future research.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

SX-One MicroKnife with ultrasound guidance
Carpal Tunnel Release using the SX-One MicroKnife with ultrasound guidance
Device: Carpal Tunnel Release
Carpal Tunnel Release surgery involves transecting the transverse carpal ligament (TCL) in order to reduce median nerve compression and alleviate symptoms. The carpal tunnel release surgery will be performed using the SX-One MicroKnife with ultrasound guidance.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from baseline Quick Form of the Disabilities of the Shoulder and Hand scores at 12 months
Time Frame: 12 months
To assess the overall patient experience following carpal tunnel release using either the SX-One MicroKnife® with ultrasound (US) guidance or the traditional mini-open technique without ultrasound guidance patients will complete the Quick Form of the Disabilities of the Shoulder and Hand scale. The Quick Form of the Disabilities of the Shoulder and Hand scale consists of 11 items scored 1-5 with lower scores indicating less symptoms or better function.
12 months
Change from baseline Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire scores at 12 months
Time Frame: 12 months
To assess the overall patient experience following carpal tunnel release using either the SX-One MicroKnife® with ultrasound guidance or the traditional mini-open technique without ultrasound guidance patients will complete the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire at 12 months. The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire consists of two subscales: symptom severity (11 items scored 1-5) and functional status (8 items scored 1-5) with lower scores indicating less symptoms or better function.
12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Patient reported time to return to activities
Time Frame: Post-operative days 1-14, 2 weeks, 1,3,6 and 12 months
Patient reported time to return to normal activities as measured in days.
Post-operative days 1-14, 2 weeks, 1,3,6 and 12 months

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Patient reported satisfaction following carpal tunnel release
Time Frame: 2 weeks, 1,3,6 and 12 months
Patient reported satisfaction with the carpal tunnel release procedure on a 1-5 scale with higher numbers indicating greater satisfaction.
2 weeks, 1,3,6 and 12 months
Patient reported symptom improvement following carpal tunnel release
Time Frame: 2 weeks, 1,3,6 and 12 months
Patient reported improvement in symptoms following carpal tunnel release, reported on a 1-5 scale with higher numbers indicating more symptom improvement.
2 weeks, 1,3,6 and 12 months
Pain reported pain on numerical pain rating scale
Time Frame: Post-operative days 1-14, 2 weeks, 1,3,6 and 12 months
Patient reported pain following carpal tunnel release, reported on an 11-point (0-10) numerical pain rating scale with higher numbers indicating more pain.
