CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME (CTS)

This study tests whether low-level laser therapy, when added to standard physiotherapy, can improve nerve healing in people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Participants receive either real or sham laser sessions three times a week for four weeks. The researchers mea…

This study explores whether a digital infrared camera, which measures skin temperature, can help diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Researchers will compare temperature patterns in the hands of people with CTS to standard electrodiagnostic tests. The goal is to see if thermog…

This study compares two non-invasive therapies—radiofrequency (TECAR) and ultrasound—for people with moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will measure changes in hand sensation, dexterity, and quality of life over the treatment period. The goal is to find out which approa…

This study tests a new AI-assisted computer mouse designed to reduce hand movements for people with carpal tunnel syndrome or hand/wrist injuries. Participants complete short computer tasks using both a regular mouse and the AI-mouse while researchers measure muscle activity, pai…

This study tests a new, less invasive way to perform carpal tunnel release using a device called the KeriKnife™. The goal is to see if this technique is safe and effective, with less pain and faster recovery than traditional surgery. Adults with severe carpal tunnel syndrome who …

This pilot study will test whether a device that sends magnetic pulses to the arm can reduce pain in people with tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, or carpal tunnel syndrome. About 40 adults will receive either real or fake (sham) stimulation over two days. Researchers will measure pa…

This study will compare three different injections—glucocorticoid, ozone, and 5% dextrose—to see which provides the best pain relief for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will enroll 105 adults aged 18 to 65 who have not responded to conservative tr…

This study tests whether hyaluronic acid injections work as well as standard steroid shots for mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Sixty adults will receive one type of injection under ultrasound guidance, and researchers will track symptom changes and nerve function for thr…

This study compares three different wrist splint positions (flexed, neutral, and extended) worn at night for eight weeks in 108 adults with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. All participants also receive education and exercises. The goal is to see which position best reduc…

This study tests whether low-frequency magnetic field therapy (magnetotherapy) can reduce pain and improve function in people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Sixty adults will be randomly assigned to receive either active magnetotherapy, a placebo device, or standar…

This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic stimulation device (rPMS) can reduce pain and improve hand function in people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Forty participants will receive either real or sham stimulation plus standard exercises over two weeks. Res…

This study tests whether injecting a larger or smaller amount of fluid around the median nerve in the wrist better relieves pain from carpal tunnel syndrome. 35 adults with mild to moderate carpal tunnel will receive either 8 ml or 3 ml of dextrose, or a steroid injection. The go…

This study compares two minimally invasive treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: pulsed radiofrequency (using heat pulses) and hyaluronidase hydrodissection (injecting a fluid to free the nerve). About 56 adults with mild to moderate carpal tunnel will be randomly assigned to on…

This study tests whether dipping the hand and forearm in warm paraffin wax for 20 minutes can immediately reduce muscle stiffness and pain in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. Twenty-four adults with the condition will be randomly assigned to either the wax treatment or rest. R…

This study tests whether carpal tunnel release surgery actually works better than a placebo surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome. 96 adults with confirmed CTS will be randomly assigned to real surgery or a sham procedure, and neither they nor their doctors will know which they rece…

This study follows 60 adults with hand or upper limb injuries to see if improvements in the first weeks of rehab can predict function months later. A digital tool created by a therapist tracks progress and patient feedback. The goal is to help clinicians make better, data-driven …

This study uses ultrasound to measure the size and blood flow of the median nerve in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will compare findings between diabetic and non-diabetic patients to see if diabetes affects nerve changes. The goal is to better understand the con…

This study looks at how having a structured, values-based conversation affects people's decisions about diagnostic imaging tests for common musculoskeletal conditions like arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tendon problems. About 220 adults from a specialty clinic will read a…
