Evaluation of a Conservative Treatment by Nocturnal Wrist Orthosis in the Non-surgical Management of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (AMYLYONCARP)

Overview

This study focuses on the evaluation of 2 nocturnal wrist orthosis prescribed as part of a non-surgical management of carpal tunnel syndrome in order to determine their effectiveness in reducing the symptoms associated with the syndrome and to highlight the superiority or the inferiority of one over the other. It will also be possible to assess their comfort and compliance as well as the impact of wearing them on neurological and muscular recovery (functional assessment).

After selection of patients suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome during consultation visits, the study will be explained to them, an information sheet and a consent form will be given to them. A subgroup of patients who have undergone a diagnostic electromyogram at the study center (defined as a functional assessment subgroup) will be randomized independently of the other participants (2 randomization lists will be generated). The randomization will be done on 2 groups: one benefiting from a wrist orthosis called simple rest, and the other from a wrist-hand-finger orthosis called global rest. An appointment for making the orthosis will be fixed with the manufacturer within one month of inclusion. The follow-up will then be done by 2 telephone collection visits at 1 month then at 2 months of the implementation of the device then by a last visit at 3 months consisting in a consultation for the functional assessment subgroup and a phone call for the others.
