UNASSIGNED: OBJECT The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness and safety of an alternative minimally invasive technique for the treatment of @entity923 ( @entity923 ). METHODS This was designed as a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end point evaluation (PROBE) study. The active comparison was double tunnels technique (DTT) (Group A, 110 @entity1 ) versus standard open decompression of the median nerve (control [Group B], 110 @entity1 ). @entity1 recruitment started in January 2011. The primary outcomes were the functional Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTSQ) scores and visual analog scale (VAS) scores for @entity158 (pVAS) at Weeks 2 and 4, and at Months 3, 6, and 12. The secondary outcome was the aesthetics (aVAS) score at Weeks 2 and 4, and at Months 3, 6, and 12. RESULTS The Student t-test and ANOVA were used, and the results were considered statistically significant if the p value was  <= 0.05 for continuous variables. The DTT is a tissue-sparing approach that allows the surgeon to limit the length of the incision (0.6    0.05 cm) and to respect the palmar fascia and the subcutaneous tissue. Recovery from wrist @entity158 , @entity158 , @entity1183 , @entity2693 , and @entity425 was achieved more effectively and quickly compared with the standard approach. Better BCTSQ, pVAS, and aVAS scores were observed in Group A. CONCLUSIONS The DTT is a safe and effective approach for the treatment of @entity923 . This technique entails faster recovery times, better aesthetic outcomes, and lower risks of complications.
