Ganglion Resection Effectiveness Trial
Recruiting now · Not applicable · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Wrist Ganglion, Ganglion, Ganglion Cyst, Connective Tissue Disease, Mucinoses
In brief
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if surgery helps with wrist ganglions in adults. The main question it aims to answer is: * Does surgery result in better patient-reported outcomes and satisfaction over a 6-months follow-up period? Researchers will compare surgery to conservative treatment (self-administered exercises and use of the hand as tolerated) to see if surgery provides superior outcomes. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to receive either surgery or conservative treatment * Complete questionnaires about wrist pain, function, quality of life, satisfaction, and recovery at 3, 6, and 12 months
