Median nerve neuropathy

This study tested whether a diode laser can act as a biomarker to measure neuropathic pain in people with peripheral neuropathy. Researchers compared pain responses to a lidocaine patch versus a placebo patch in 75 participants. The goal was to see if the laser test could disting…

This study tested whether ultrasound can accurately diagnose mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) by measuring the median nerve. Researchers compared ultrasound results with standard nerve tests and checked how they related to pain, symptoms, and quality of life in 75 pe…

This study tested two types of nerve mobilization exercises—slider and tensioner—in 36 adults with chronic neck pain from cervical radiculopathy. Participants received standard care plus one of the two techniques. The goal was to see which better reduces pain, improves neck movem…

This study tested whether adding nerve mobilization exercises to standard ultrasound therapy helps people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. 86 adults aged 20-55 took part. Researchers measured pain, hand strength, and nerve size before and after three weeks of treatme…

This study compared two surgical treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: a newer ultrasound-guided procedure with a small incision and traditional open surgery. Researchers wanted to see if the less invasive method leads to faster symptom relief and better hand function. Two hundr…

This study tested three different injection techniques using a sugar-water solution (5% dextrose) to treat mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. 74 adults received one of the methods, and researchers measured pain, tingling, and hand function over three months. The goal was to…

This study compared two types of carpal tunnel release surgery: one using ultrasound guidance with a tiny incision (less than 1 cm) and the traditional mini-open method with a slightly larger cut. Forty-one adults with carpal tunnel syndrome were randomly assigned to one of the t…

This completed observational study looked at 84 people to understand how diabetic polyneuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes) changes the median nerve in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers used advanced ultrasound techniques, including shear wave elastography and m…

This study looked at 30 adults in rehabilitation who needed a walking aid for the first time. Researchers checked their hand and wrist health before and after using the aid, using questionnaires and nerve tests. The goal was to see if using canes or walkers might lead to carpal t…

This study used ultrasound to compare how the median nerve changes shape in different wrist positions (neutral, bent, extended, and tilted) between people with generalized joint hypermobility and healthy individuals. 36 women participated. The goal was to understand if hypermobil…
