3. Most had been recommeded to have surgery. They were not interested in surgery.

4. None of the patients lost work days because of CTS during the study period (7 months).

5. The decrease in symptoms was dramatic in the first 1-3 weeks for all the patients, mild , moderate and severe. After 4-6 weeks most patients had no symptoms.

6. At the 7 months follow up over 90% had no symptoms with minimal to no maitenance!

Clinical Research Abstract
 
Abstract

     This study evaluated the treatment efficacy and patient satisfaction of a new Hand Traction Device called C-Trac in patients tt failed conservative therapy for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). Patients were diagnosed with Electromyography and Nerve Conduction Studies (EMG/NCS). Only patients with a positive Phalens test and a Visual Analog Pain Scale of more than 5/10 were eligible for the study. The patients had tried Non Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS), Resting Hand Splint (RHS) during the night, Acupuncture, and/or hand therapy for a minimum of 4 months.

     In order to test C-TRAC as the sole treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, patients included in the study stopped all other forms of therapy.  (NSAIDS, Hand Therapy, Acupuncture, Massage, Manipulations, cortisone injections). A group of 19 patients used C-TRAC hand traction device for 5 minutes 3 times daily for 40 weeks. After the 4 week period the device was used as needed. The patients were followed up weekly for 4 weeks, then at 7 months.

     Visual Analog Scale was used to assess pain, tingling, and numbness in the treated hand. The number of times patients woke up at night and satisfaction with the use of the device were also evaluated. The average VAS for pain decreased from 8.53 to 1.05. The average tingling decreased from 8.15 to 0.95. The average numbness decreased from 8.47 to 0.95. The average number of times patients woke up per night because of CTS symptoms decreased from 3.05 to 0.10. Patients showed significant improvement at 4 weeks and were maintained at 7 months follow up. Fifteen 15 patients (79%) rated their treatment as excellent and 4 (21%) as good and none (0%) as fair or poor.

     Clinical Relevance: This device is very effective and well tolerated in treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in patients that failed conservative therapy.

Another Clinical Trial:

An independent, second clinical trial was done by the equivalent of Workers Comp in PR, USA. The agency is called "Fondo Del Seguro Del Estado". This is a centralized agency with contracted physicians. It owns facilities unlike most states of the union were patients go to independent physicians.

They wanted to evaluate if what we were offering for their patients was real! (how insulting) They had hundreds of patients scheduled for surgery so they had no problem finding patients for their study. A clinial trial was done with 20 patients that were waiting for surgery and had failed multiple treatments inluding physical therapy, medication, splints, etc, and were in "workers comp".

Just like in the above research, all other therapies were stopped and the patients tried C TRAC for 4 weeks. 

After seeing the symptoms decrease and patients cancelling surgeries their conclusion was that C TRAC was "effective in treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome".  They "recommeded the use of C TRAC" to treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome for their patients.
