Treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with C TRAC and avoid surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment : Surgical

There are two main types of Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery. The open approach and the closed or endoscopic approach. Their purpose is the same, open the Carpal Tunnel To allow more space for the median nerve.

Open Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery

The purpose of Carpal Tunnel Release surgery is to open the Carpal Tunnel. The way of opening the tunnel is by cutting the Carpal Ligament. The Carpal Ligament forms the "roof" of the Carpal Tunnel and is the target of the surgery.

The surgery is done on the palm of the hand. An incision in the palm exposes the Carpal Ligament which is then cut. The ligament is cut to open the Carpal Tunnel by the surgeon.

Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery, has been done since the 1930s, it is done under light anesthesia. The expectation of the surgery is that once the incision is sutured closed, the ligament tissue will scar back together and leave more space for the median nerve. Studies show the Carpal Tunnel area increases by 2.6 mm as shown with MRI studies.
Surgery works well and relieves the symptoms of CTS, specially in the first 1-2 years after the surgery.

The question is Why patients get to the point of needing surgery?
The answer is that conservative therapy does not even attempt to open the Carpal tunnel conservatively. C TRAC opens the Carpal Tunnel by using traction. By applying Traction to the Carpal Ligament daily the ligament stretches and elongates and increases the area of the Carpal Tunnel.

According to The Arthritis Foundation, ?Because of the risks associated with the invasive nature of surgery, most surgeons, medical insurance companies and health care professionals advise patients to exhaust all clinically documented conservative treatments for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome before considering surgery.?

Endoscopic Approach to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Surgery

The endoscopic approach attempt to achieve opening the Carpal Tunnel by cutting through the Carpal Ligament without leaving a scar in the palm of the hand and achieving faster recovery. Two 1 cm incisions are made, one in the palm of the hand and one at the wrist crease. A camera with a trochar is introduced into the Carpal Tunnel and the ligament is transected with a knife running in the trochar. Faster recovery has been reported with similar results. The patient goes back to work in 2 weeks. The procedure is done under sedation.

The question remains why would anyone want to go through surgery and sedation if they can relieve their Symptoms on 2-6 weeks at home using traction, C TRAC?

Again the problem is conservative therapy not opening the Carpal Tunnel the way C TRAC does. Adding C TRAC to current conservative therapy will greatly improve the number of patients that avoid surgery, as our research shows.
