“…10 More recently, newer methods using the endoscope have evolved, with an advantage being decreased pain in the postoperative period. [11][12][13] However, the optimal method for releasing the transverse carpal ligament remains unclear. In the traditional open release, the ligament is left sectioned vertically with or without application of neurolysis.…”

“…The search was limited to this time period because the first ECTR was described in 1989 (10). MeSH or the key words 'endoscopic', 'open', 'versus' or 'vs', and 'carpal tunnel release' were used.…”

“…ECTR avoids painful scarring, reduces the duration of hospitalization, and allows earlier recovery of movement. In addition, because postoperative external fixation is unnecessary, rehabilitation of patients can be accelerated (Okutsu, Ninomiya, Takatori & Ugawa, 1989).…”

Abstract:The effects of postoperative therapy on psychological function following endoscopic carpal tunnel release (ECTR) have not been sufficiently investigated. This study investigated the effectiveness of instruction in tendon and nerve gliding exercises and activities of daily living (ADL) as postoperative treatment for 49 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Patients were randomized into 2 groups (intervention and control). After surgery, tendon and nerve gliding exercises and instruction in ADL were performed only on the experimental group on the day of the surgery. All patients were examined preoperatively and again 5−13 days postoperatively. Outcomes of pain, numbness, sensation, range of motion (ROM), anxiety, ADL and quality of life (QOL) were compared between groups. Differences were seen in pain, static 2-point discrimination, ROM, anxiety, and QOL. Tendon and nerve gliding exercises and instruction in ADL after ECTR appear likely to accelerate recovery.
