Ultrasound guided minimally invasive interventions can effectively treat common painful hand and wrist conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, and de Quervain's disease. For carpal tunnel syndrome, a study of 129 patients found 100% had relief of symptoms after ultrasound-guided injections with no complications. For trigger finger, ultrasound-guided injections and partial releases provided relief in 81.7% of patients at 6-month follow up. For de Quervain's disease, ultrasound-guided injections and releases led to 91.4% relief within 1 month and no recurrences at 6-month follow up. The techniques allow for accurate needle placement and treatment of these painful conditions with minimal invasiveness and good patient outcomes.
