Investigating the effect of tenosynectomy on the improvement of symptoms and fine movements of fingers in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome after open surgery
-
Design
-
A clinical trial with a control group, with parallel groups, a blind strain, block randomization, on 60 patients, for better randomization, web software will be used to prepare a randomization list for both types of treatment in each The block generates random permutations
