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.

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.

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.

Primary Outcome Measures

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

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

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.
Post-operative days 1-14, 2 weeks, 1,3,6 and 12 months
