CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME (CTS)

This study aims to find out if carpal tunnel release surgery actually works better than a placebo (fake) surgery. Researchers will recruit 96 adults with carpal tunnel syndrome and randomly assign them to receive either the real surgery or a placebo procedure that looks the same.…

This study is testing whether using a larger volume of fluid during a specific injection treatment works better for carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will enroll 35 adults with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel to see if bigger injections provide more pain relief and better functi…

This study aims to create and test a Turkish version of the CTS-6, a short diagnostic tool for carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will translate the tool and check if it works reliably for 126 Turkish adults, including patients with the condition, people with similar symptoms, a…

This study is testing whether a non-invasive treatment called repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) can help reduce pain and improve hand function in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Forty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either th…

This study compares two different office-based procedures for treating carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will test whether ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency or an enzyme injection called hyaluronidase works better to relieve pain and improve hand function. The study will …

This study compares two injection treatments for mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome: hyaluronic acid versus standard corticosteroid injections. Sixty adult patients will receive one of these injections under ultrasound guidance. Researchers will track which treatment better …

This study is testing if a single 20-minute paraffin wax treatment can provide immediate relief from muscle stiffness and pain for people with carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will compare the effects of the warm wax therapy against a control group that simply rests. The goal …

This study is testing if a non-invasive treatment using low-frequency magnetic fields can help reduce pain and improve hand function in people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either real magnet therapy, fake (p…

This study aims to find the best wrist position for a nighttime splint to help people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will compare splints set at three different angles to see which one best reduces pain, numbness, and improves hand function. The goal is…

This study aims to see if people with type 2 diabetes recover differently from a common steroid injection for carpal tunnel syndrome compared to people without diabetes. Researchers will observe 60 adults with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel, half of whom also have well-controlled…

This study aims to better understand carpal tunnel syndrome by using ultrasound to measure nerve swelling and blood flow in the wrist. It will enroll 100 patients with confirmed carpal tunnel and compare findings between those with and without diabetes. The goal is to see if thes…

This study aims to understand how patients decide whether to get imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs for common joint, tendon, and nerve conditions. Researchers will compare how a structured conversation versus basic written information affects patients' desire for testing and thei…
