CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME (CTS)

This study is testing if teaching patients about how pain works in the brain and nervous system can help relieve symptoms of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Researchers will enroll 48 adults with CTS to see if this special pain education, when added to standard hom…

This study is comparing two non-surgical treatments for mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) against standard home exercises. Researchers want to see if adding either kinesiotaping (a special elastic tape) or peloidotherapy (therapeutic mud packs) to a home exercise prog…

This study aims to find out which injection method works better for relieving the pain and numbness of carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will compare a standard steroid injection to a newer method using only saltwater (saline) to gently separate the nerve. About 90 adult partic…

This study is testing if adding a high-intensity laser treatment to standard hand exercises works better than just using a wrist splint for carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will measure changes in pain, hand strength, and nerve function in 78 participants over six weeks. The g…

This study is comparing two common physical therapy treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome to see which works better. Sixty patients with hand pain and numbness will receive either paraffin wax therapy or shockwave therapy. Researchers will measure changes in nerve thickness, pain…

This study aims to see if weekly hands-on therapy is as good as or better than wearing a wrist brace at night for mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Ten participants will be randomly assigned to receive either six weeks of therapy or use a brace. Researchers will use MRI sc…

This study is testing if adding exercises for the neck and upper back to standard hand therapy provides extra relief for carpal tunnel syndrome. Sixty adults with carpal tunnel will be randomly assigned to receive either standard therapy alone or standard therapy plus the new exe…

This study aims to better understand a simple physical test for carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will measure the muscle activity in 25 adults with the condition when a doctor scratches their wrist. The goal is to see exactly how and why the muscle briefly weakens during this …

This study aims to understand if measurements taken from an ultrasound scan of the wrist can tell doctors how much feeling a person with carpal tunnel syndrome has lost in their hand. Researchers will recruit 84 adults with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. They will compa…
