Can magnets ease carpal tunnel pain? new study investigates

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.
