Lipografting Versus Steroid Injections for Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Conditions: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Phase: EARLY_PHASE1
Enrollment: 100
Sponsor: Columbia University
Location: Columbia University Irving Medical Center New York New York
Summary
This study applies the regenerative properties of autologous fat transfer to treat mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome in comparison to the current standard of care, corticosteroid treatment. The investigators hypothesize the fat transfer would prevent scar formation and aid in nerve excursion along the canal (while the neoangiogenic and regenerative growth factors could stimulate nerve regeneration) better than the standard of care treatment.
