Group A, patients received two-sessions of ultrasound-guided PIT with 10cc D5W (3 months interval); Group B, patients received one-session of ultrasound-guided PIT with 10cc D5W and 5cc normal saline separately (3 months interval); Group C (control group), patients received two-sessions of ultrasound-guided PIT with nerve hydrodissection with 10cc normal saline. The primary outcome is Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTQ) and secondary outcomes include visual analog scale (VAS), cross-sectional area (CSA) of the median nerve, nerve conduction velocity of the median nerve, and Global assessment of treatment.
