Median nerve neuropathy
MONDO:0003598Disease involving the median nerve, from its origin at the brachial plexus to its termination in the hand. Clinical features include weakness of wrist and finger flexion, forearm pronation, thenar abduction, and loss of sensation over the lateral palm, first three fingers, and radial half of the ring finger. Common sites of injury include the elbow, where the nerve passes through the two heads of the pronator teres muscle (pronator syndrome) and in the carpal tunnel (carpal tunnel syndrome).
Also known as: median nerve peripheral neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy of median nerve, median nerve palsy

Carpal tunnel surgery could spot hidden heart disease risk
Diagnosis Recruiting nowThis study looks at whether taking a small piece of ligament during routine carpal tunnel surgery can help diagnose transthyretin amyloidosis, a serious condition that often goes unnoticed until it affects the heart. Researchers will compare this new biopsy method to the standard…

New gel may offer relief for persistent carpal tunnel pain
Symptom relief Recruiting nowThis study tests a gel called DYNAVISC placed around the nerve during repeat carpal tunnel surgery to see if it reduces pain and tingling better than standard surgery alone. About 50 adults with ongoing hand pain after a prior carpal tunnel release will take part. Results are mea…

Injection or knife? new study pits needle against surgery for wrist pain
Symptom relief Recruiting nowThis study compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: an ultrasound-guided injection around the nerve versus a small-incision surgery to relieve pressure. Researchers will measure pain and hand function in 60 adults with mild to severe symptoms over 12 weeks. The goal is…

Pain education may ease carpal tunnel without surgery
Symptom relief Recruiting nowThis study tests whether pain neuroscience education (PNE) can improve symptoms in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Participants will receive PNE along with standard home exercises and a wrist splint. The goal is to see if understanding pain better leads to le…

Bedside test may end guesswork in nerve pain treatment
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study aims to see if a quick bedside sensory test can predict which painkiller—pregabalin, duloxetine, or a placebo—works best for people with nerve pain in their feet. About 190 adults with diabetic, chemotherapy-related, or idiopathic nerve pain will try each treatment for…
