The choice of the preferred conservative treatment method is still relevant, especially for the patients with the moderate severity of the disease. </p><p><bold>Objective: </bold>to perform a comparative study of the effectiveness of local injection therapy and wrist splinting in idiopathic moderate carpal tunnel syndrome; to assess the duration of the clinical effect in the follow‑up period to 6 months. </p><p><bold>Materials and methods. </bold>The study included 105 cases of moderate idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome. Patients were randomized to 2 groups depending on the treatment method: the main group (<italic>n </italic>= 54) received 1 or 2 ultrasound‑guided injections with glucocorticosteroid (betamethasone 5 mg + 2 mg/1.0 ml) and lidocaine 2 % 1.0 ml into the carpal canal; the control group (<italic>n </italic>= 51) was assigned wrist splinting at night for 1 month. The primary criterion for therapy effectiveness was evaluation by clinical scales (SSS, FSS, LANSS, Visual Analogue Scale) after 1 month from the treatment initiation. A secondary criterion for the therapy effectiveness was the assessment of changes in electrophysiological and neurosonographic parameters.</p><p><bold>Results. </bold>The scores for SSS, FSS, LANSS and Visual Analogue Scale were significantly lower at 1 month in the injection therapy group than in the splinting group (<italic>p </italic>&lt;0.0001). A significant change in the electrophysiological parameters of the median nerve (a decrease the distal motor and sensory latency, an increase in the Mand S‑response amplitude, an increase in sensory conduction velocity on the hand) and a significant decrease in the cross‑sectional area of the median nerve at the level of the pisiform bone was noted only in the local injection therapy group. The average duration of the local injection therapy clinical effect surpassed the splinting one and reached 4 months.</p><p><bold>Conclusion. </bold>After 1 month from the start of the treatment, the local injection therapy demonstrated a higher clinical efficacy compared to the wrist splinting, the average duration of the effect reached 4 months. This conservative treatment method is preferred for the patients with moderate idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Введение. </bold>Карпальный туннельный синдром (КТС) является наиболее частой компрессионной мононевропатией. Вопросы предпочтительного метода консервативного лечения остаются актуальными, особенно для пациентов со средней степенью тяжести заболевания.</p><p><bold>Цель исследования </bold>– выполнить сравнительное исследование эффективности локальной инъекционной терапии и ортезирования лучезапястного сустава при идиопатическом КТС средней степени тяжести, оценить продолжительность клинического эффекта в периоде наблюдения до 6 мес.</p><p><bold>Материалы и методы. </bold>В исследование вошло 105 случаев идиопатического КТС средней степени тяжести. Пациенты были рандомизированы в 2 группы в зависимости от проводимого лечения: основная группа (<italic>n </italic>= 54) получила 1 или 2 инъекции с глюкокортикостероидом (бетаметазон 5 мг + 2 мг/1,0 мл) и лидокаином 2 % 1,0 мл под ультразвуковым контролем в запястный канал; контрольной группе (<italic>n </italic>= 51) было назначено ортезирование лучезапястного сустава в ночные часы в течение 1 мес. Первичным критерием эффективности терапии была оценка по клиническим шкалам (SSS, FSS, LANSS, визуально‑аналоговая шкала боли) через 1 мес от начала лечения, вторичным критерием эффективности – оценка изменений электрофизиологических и нейросонографических параметров.</p><p><bold>Результаты. </bold>Через 1 мес после лечения оценки по SSS, FSS, LANSS и визуально‑аналоговой шкале боли в группе инъекционной терапии оказались значимо ниже, чем в группе ортезирования (<italic>p </italic>&lt;0,0001). Достоверное изменение электрофизиологических показателей срединного нерва (укорочение дистальной латентности Ми S‑ответа, увеличение амплитуды Ми S‑ответа, увеличение сенсорной скорости распространения возбуждения на кисти) и значимое уменьшение площади поперечного сечения срединного нерва на уровне гороховидной кости были отмечены только в группе локальной инъекционной терапии. Средняя продолжительность клинического эффекта локальной инъекционной терапии оказалась больше, чем ортезирования, и составила 4 мес.</p><p><bold>Заключение. </bold>Через 1 мес от начала лечения локальная инъекционная терапия продемонстрировала более высокую клиническую эффективность по сравнению с ортезированием лучезапястного сустава, продолжительность эффекта составила в среднем 4 мес. Данный метод консервативного лечения является предпочтительным для пациентов с идиопатическим КТС средней степени тяжести.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>carpal tunnel syndrome</kwd><kwd>moderate severity</kwd><kwd>therapy</kwd><kwd>local injection</kwd><kwd>blockade</kwd><kwd>corticosteroid</kwd><kwd>splinting</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>карпальный туннельный синдром</kwd><kwd>средняя степень тяжести</kwd><kwd>лечение</kwd><kwd>локальная инъекция</kwd><kwd>блокада</kwd><kwd>кортикостероид</kwd><kwd>ортезирование</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Atroshi I., Gummesson C., Johnsson R., Sprinchorn A.
