Abstract
Injection of steroid preparations into the carpal tunnel is one method of treating carpal tunnel syndrome. Based on a prospective study of 2 0 cases, we would only recommend this treatment to those with symptoms of less than 1 year duration and without neurological deficit. As a d iagnostic tool it may be useful in a wider range of patients. This sim ple technique should be within the armamentarium of rheumatologists an d general practitioners.
