This study aimed at to fill the gaps by comparing the surgical outcomes of the conventional versus transverse mini-incision technique for carpal tunnel syndrome in terms of pain and functional outcomes.
The study findings would be helpful in determining the superiority of one surgical technique over the other for carpal tunnel release so that a quicker return to normal activities and work for those patients could be achieved, causing less pain and scarring. Due to frequent healthcare visits, quality of life can also be improved along with a decrease in morbidity.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conventional open CTR | Experimental | Conventional open CTR involved making a longitudinal incision in the wrist, typically along the median palmar crease, to access and release the transverse carpal ligament. |
|
| Transverse mini-incision technique | Experimental | Mini-incision CTR involved a smaller incision than traditional CTR procedures, aiming to minimize scarring and improve recovery time. |
