Can a stem-cell wrap boost nerve repair after carpal tunnel surgery?
NCT ID NCT07723313
First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether placing a piece of amniotic membrane soaked in a stem-cell-derived solution (secretome) on the nerve during carpal tunnel release surgery can improve symptom relief and nerve function. Adults with moderate-to-severe carpal tunnel syndrome that hasn't improved with conservative care will be randomly assigned to standard surgery alone or surgery plus the membrane and secretome. Outcomes are measured at 3 weeks using a hand-function questionnaire and nerve-conduction tests.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- amniotic membrane and secretome (stem-cell-derived solution) applied to the nerve during surgery
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple add-on treatment to improve nerve recovery and reduce symptoms after carpal tunnel surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply widely. The added step may not improve outcomes over standard surgery alone.
