Corticosteroid Injection
for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Local corticosteroid injection into the carpal tunnel provides significant short-to-medium-term relief for CTS symptoms and is the most effective non-surgical treatment.
How it works
Reduces synovial tissue swelling within the carpal tunnel, directly decreasing pressure on the median nerve. Anti-inflammatory effect reduces neural oedema and compression.
What to watch for
Doctor or specialist administered. Benefit typically lasts 3–6 months — repeating injections can extend management but does not prevent eventual need for surgery in severe CTS. Ultrasound guidance improves accuracy and safety.
