Evers S, et al. – Authors planned this work to examine the reintervention rate and to identify prognostic indicators for subsequent treatment after corticosteroid injection for carpal tunnel syndrome. In the presented cohort, 32 percent of patients did not require subsequent treatment after a single injection, which suggested a therapeutic role for corticosteroid injections in treating carpal tunnel syndrome. There appeared a necessity for further research to identify those patients who will benefit from an injection, to provide more individually tailored treatment.
