Summary

This study tests whether a painless brain stimulation technique (tDCS plus ultrasound) can reduce chronic pain in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. About 95 adults with long-term wrist pain will receive either real or fake (sham) stimulation to see if it lowers their pain scores. The goal is to find a non-invasive way to manage pain without drugs or surgery.
