A Study of FIsetin to Treat CArpal Tunnel Syndrome

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this trial is to determine if Fisetin has any effect on CTS, powered based on the results of known effective treatments of CTS. The primary hypothesis is that the Boston CTS questionnaire score will improve by 1 point from pre-treatment to 60 days post-treatment. The secondary hypothesis is that clinical improvement will be proportional to the effect in reducing blood markers of cellular senescence
