Carpal Tunnel Treatment Process

The treatment journey for carpal tunnel syndrome begins with a comprehensive assessment focused on understanding your symptoms, their severity, and how they affect your daily activities and quality of life. A detailed high-resolution ultrasound examination of the wrist and forearm is performed to evaluate the structures within the carpal tunnel and identify any compression of the median nerve.

Following the assessment, your doctor will discuss the available treatment options and create a personalised care plan designed to relieve symptoms and restore hand function.

The treatment is performed without general anaesthesia, typically takes around 15 minutes, and involves minimal recovery time. After the procedure, you will receive detailed aftercare instructions and ongoing support throughout your recovery.

1
Initial Evaluation
Your doctor will review your symptoms in detail and perform a physical examination of the hand and wrist. High-resolution ultrasound imaging is used to assess the carpal tunnel structures and evaluate the median nerve for signs of compression. In some cases, additional diagnostic testing, such as nerve conduction studies, may be recommended to confirm the diagnosis.
2
Pre-Treatment Consultation
Before treatment, your doctor will explain the procedure, expected outcomes, potential risks, and alternative treatment options. This consultation also provides an opportunity to ask questions and discuss any concerns you may have.
3
Local Anaesthesia
To ensure comfort during the procedure, a local anaesthetic is applied to numb the hand and wrist area. General anaesthesia is not required.
4
Ultrasound Guidance
Advanced ultrasound technology is used throughout the procedure to provide real-time visualisation of the carpal tunnel and surrounding structures. This allows for precise treatment while helping to protect nearby tissues.
5
Micro-Invasive Carpal Tunnel Release
Using a specialised micro-invasive instrument, your doctor carefully releases the transverse carpal ligament under ultrasound guidance. This relieves pressure on the median nerve and creates additional space within the carpal tunnel.
6
Minimal Skin Impact
The procedure does not require traditional surgical incisions. Instead, only a tiny needle-sized entry point is needed. Once the treatment is complete, a simple adhesive bandage is applied to the area.
7
Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, you will be observed briefly to ensure there are no immediate complications. Your doctor will provide detailed instructions regarding wound care, activity levels, and the early stages of recovery.
8
Follow-Up Appointment
A follow-up visit will be scheduled to monitor your progress, answer any questions, and provide additional guidance on recovery, exercises, or rehabilitation if needed.
9
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Most patients gradually return to normal hand activities over time. Depending on your recovery needs, your doctor may recommend hand therapy to improve strength, mobility, and overall hand function.

Funding bodies typically require symptoms of >=3 months duration with documented conservative treatment trial.
How significantly do your symptoms affect your ability to perform the following? (Rate each: None / Mild / Moderate / Severe)
Funding bodies generally require evidence of failed conservative management prior to surgical approval. Please answer the following carefully.
Splinting (particularly nocturnal) is a first-line conservative measure. Document duration and compliance.
Injection response (or failure) is relevant to both diagnosis and funding justification.
NCS/EMG confirmation of median nerve conduction delay is required by most funders. Ensure results are attached to the referral.
