NCT ID NCT07435961
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
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 standard care (wrist splint and exercises) for three weeks. Researchers will measure symptoms, hand strength, and nerve health at several follow-up visits.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (magnetotherapy)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a non-invasive, drug-free 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 only 60 participants. The placebo effect is strong in pain studies, and the results may not apply to severe cases or general populations.
