Abstract: Randomized Controlled Trials for Surgical Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Systematic Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
METHODS: We identified RCTs comparing two or more surgical interventions for CTS in PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Clinicaltrials.gov. Two independent reviewers assessed manuscripts for inclusion. RCT characteristics including year, journal, country, funding, study size, methodology, follow-up, and intentionto-treat analysis were collected. For all studies, we calculated the Jadad scale1 (0–5), a validated instrument for assessing the methodological quality of RCTs. The Kendall rank correlation was used to assess trends of RCTs over time.
