April 6, 2026
Mini-incision carpal tunnel release using the ProMIS kit resulted in faster early pain relief compared to open carpal tunnel release.
Patients undergoing mini-incision release reported lower pain scores and better functional outcomes at 2 weeks and 1 month.
The mini-incision technique had a shorter operative time, averaging about 14 minutes compared to 22 minutes for open release.
No major complications were reported in either group during the 2-month follow-up, indicating a similar short-term risk profile.
Further research with larger, multicenter studies is needed to assess long-term outcomes and confirm early benefits of the mini-incision approach.
