Sugar water injection may ease carpal tunnel pain
NCT ID NCT07524933
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether injecting a 5% dextrose (sugar water) solution around the nerve in the wrist can reduce pain and improve hand function in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. About 96 adults who haven't gotten better with standard care will receive the injection under ultrasound guidance. Researchers will measure pain, hand function, nerve size, and electrical activity to see if this simple treatment works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
5% dextrose (sugar water) injection
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-surgical option to reduce pain and improve hand function for people with carpal tunnel syndrome.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with no phase, so results may not be conclusive. The injection is compared to a placebo, so any benefit might be due to the procedure itself rather than the sugar water.
