Hyaluronic Acid Injection in Idiopathic Carpal Tunnel Syndrome; is it Effective as Local Corticosteroids

Sixty adult patients will be assigned to receive one of the two injections under ultrasound guidance. The goal is to see if HA is as effective as the standard corticosteroid treatment in improving symptoms and nerve function over a 3-month follow-up period.
