Study arms

  • Experimental
    dextrose 5%

    10 mls of dextrose under ultrasound to separate the median nerve from adjacent structures

    Procedure: dextrose 5% median nerve hydrodissection

  • Active comparator
    steroid

    10 mls of steroid used to separate the median nerve from adjacent structures

    Procedure: dextrose 5% median nerve hydrodissection

Interventions

  • Proceduredextrose 5% median nerve hydrodissection

    planned to be a good alternative to steroid hydrodissection
