Notes

This review will be updated through the publication of three new reviews and then withdrawn. The first of the new reviews, Endoscopic release for carpal tunnel syndrome, has been published (Vasiliadis 2014). Reviews of modified open carpal tunnel release, and open carpal tunnel release with adjuvant procedures will follow.

PICOs

Population
Intervention
Comparison
Outcome

The PICO model is widely used and taught in evidence-based health care as a strategy for formulating questions and search strategies and for characterizing clinical studies or meta-analyses. PICO stands for four different potential components of a clinical question: Patient, Population or Problem; Intervention; Comparison; Outcome.

See more on using PICO in the Cochrane Handbook.
